Previewing the Sunday Shows
By Sarah Mimms // July 6, 2012 | 2:44 p.m.
After a long holiday break from the ups-and-downs of the 2012 campaign and Friday morning's uninspiring June jobs report, the Sunday Shows will bring the focus back to each party's prescription to get the economy back on track.
This Week kicks off the us-versus-them show-down with Louisiana Governor and potential Republican vice presidential contender Bobby Jindal presenting former Gov. Mitt Romney's case. He'll be joined by Democratic Governors Association chairman Martin O'Malley, who will take up President Obama's side of the argument. Meanwhile on Face the Nation, Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, an adviser to the powerful outside group American Crossroads, will discuss their parties' chances in 2012. The party's national committee chairs, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Reince Priebus, will continue the conversation on Fox News Sunday.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., will make the Republican case for 2012 on State of the Union and will also discuss last week's Supreme Court ruling on Obama's signature health care law. Former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs will also appear.
Reps. Tom Price, R-Ga., and Xavier Becerra, D-Calif., will drop by Fox News Sunday to discuss the House's upcoming vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., will be on Face the Nation, to discuss international news.
Meet the Press has been preempted this week for NBC's coverage of the Tour de France.
