Morning Rush Hour Podcast — Today's Top Stories
Congress moves with rare unity as the Epstein files bill sails through the House and the Senate with near-unanimous support. Now all eyes turn to Donald Trump, who must decide whether he'll sign it into law. In Texas, a federal judge strikes down the state's latest gerrymandering attempt, reshaping the political landscape yet again. And on the campaign trail, Trump scolds a reporter after a flurry of persistent questions.
Plus, we sit down with Dr. Annie Andrews, pediatrician and South Carolina Senate candidate, for a wide-ranging conversation about healthcare, public safety, and what she believes her state needs most right now.
