"Meet the Press" moderator Kristen Welker joins Sunday TODAY's Willie Geist to discuss the uncertain path to a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia after Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's tense meeting with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office. Israel blocked aid into Gaza and said it will not resume if Hamas does not accept its proposal to extend the current ceasefire.

Andrew Cuomo announced his candidacy for New York City mayor in a 17-minute video, saying he's entering the race because he believes the city is in crisis.

The Floor

The Floor is a physical quiz show that sees 81 contestants face off in quiz duels on a giant LED floor divided into a 9×9 grid of squares, each representing its own field of knowledge.

The first challenger, selected at random, must choose one of his or her neighboring opponents to go head-to-head in an epic quiz duel in the opponent's category. The winner takes over the loser's square, gaining valuable ground as they expand their territory, while the loser exits the game. The winner must then choose – do they continue on and attempt to secure another square? Or do they let The Floor choose a new challenger? The last contestant standing who gains full control over The Floor takes home a life-changing $250,000 cash prize.
