Summary

Since she began running for President instead of Vice President, VP Kamala Harris' campaign says they have raised over a half-billion dollars. Between Labor Day and Election Day, the Harris campaign plans to spend $370 million on political ads. On the Republican side, former President Donald Trump and his team raised about $134 million in July with over $300 million in cash on hand. As both parties prepare for a spending spree, just how effective are campaign ads? Nestpoint Associates co-founder and political strategist John Thomas joins the Rundown to explain why campaign ads are worth the costs in the 2024 campaign. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg made a statement this week, denouncing the Biden administration for what he said was pressure to censor COVID-19 misinformation on his platforms during the pandemic. Zuckerberg also expressed regret for agreeing to censor accounts that posted what the site labeled disinformation. The comments from Zuckerberg have sparked a new conversation on how the government should interact with social media companies and what kind of speech should be regulated. Director of the Tech Policy Center at The Heritage Foundation Kara Frederick joins the Rundown to discuss why she believes the Meta CEO decided to rebuke the Biden administration and what consequences could face those that pressured social media companies during the pandemic. Plus, commentary from the host of “Tomi Lahren is Fearless on Outkick,” Tomi Lahren. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
