    “Hello and welcome to Breakfast with Ben Thompson and Sally Nugent,” Sally began during the program’s opening segment.

    As they wrapped up presentations, Ben took a moment to highlight Monday’s major news. Next comes Jon’s live report from Washington, saying: “Hello from Washington. We’re here this week as this extraordinary race comes to an end,” the Express reports.
