Shownotes Transcript

For the second time this year, a "Squad" member lost a Democratic primary after Saint Louis prosecutor Wesely Bell ousted Missouri Congresswoman Cori Bush. Pro-Israel groups spent millions of dollars to unseat Bush, who had been a vocal critic of the war in Gaza. FOX News Senior Congressional correspondent Chad Pergram explains how this could affect the balance of power and why the Democrats are leaning toward more moderate candidates.


Vice President Kamala Harris hits the campaign trail with her newly minted running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, as they look to secure support from voters in key swing states. One of those pivotal places is Pennsylvania, which also holds a heated Senate race between incumbent Democrat Bob Casey and Republican candidate Dave McCormick. While Senator Casey holds a strong poll lead, Republicans hope to flip the seat. Pennsylvania Senate Candidate Dave McCormick (R) joins the Rundown to discuss why he feels Casey is a "failed" senator and what policies he would support if elected. He also shares his reaction to Governor Walz joining the Democratic ticket.


Plus commentary from FOX News Contributor and AEI Fellow Marc Thiessen.
