This Sunday “Meet the Press” is the only place to see both of Tuesday's big primary winners. A major Tea Party victory in Kentucky gives Washington outsider Rand Paul the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate but some of his positions are already creating a controversy. He joins us exclusively for his only Sunday morning interview. Then, a live interview with Rep. Joe Sestak who won the Democratic nomination in Pennsylvania, pushing long-time Senator Arlen Specter from office. Will he be able to keep that Senate seat in the Democratic column?

Then, anger against Washington was on display as voters took a stand in Tuesday's primary elections. What will it mean for November's mid-term elections? We'll have an exclusive debate between the two men responsible for leading their parties to victory this fall: the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) vs. his Democratic counterpart, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ).

Finally: A big week in politics and a full agenda for the Obama administration. How do Tuesday's election results reflect on the President? And what does it all mean for the November elections? And as the uncontained oil spill in the Gulf continues to threaten the coastline and the region's health and welfare, how has Washington managed the response and cleanup effort and what will be the long-term ramification of this disaster? Our roundtable weighs in: The New York Times' Tom Friedman; The Wall Street Journal's Paul Gigot; NBC News' Andrea Mitchell; and The Washington Post's Bob Woodward.
