Summary

One of America’s most expensive Congressional races is underway in Michigan’s 7th Congressional district, with incumbent Democrat Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin facing off against GOP challenger and State Senator, Tom Barrett. The state of Michigan has historically elected Democrats when it comes to the presidency but tends to go red when electing its state legislature, so many expect this competitive district with two moderate lawmakers to be a potential bellwether in November. First, Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) joins the podcast to explain how Democratic accomplishments have helped Americans and address her opponent’s record on abortion issues. Later, Michigan State Senator Tom Barrett joins and shares why he believes economic issues are priorities for voters in the midterms. On Thursday, UK Prime Minister Liz Truss stepped down from her position as leader of the Conservative Party. Truss' six-week tenure was marred by high energy prices enraging the people of England and her inability to deliver on certain economic promises. FOX News Sunday Host Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to explain how economic turmoil is impacting leaders both abroad and domestically as President Biden battles high oil costs. She also discusses how the issues of inflation and abortion could impact midterm results, and why the Utah Senate race is gaining so much attention. And---don't miss the good news with Tonya J. Powers. Plus, commentary by Fox News Contributor Tomi Lahren. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
