Summary

Violent crime has been a big concern of Americans and it remains a major campaign issue ahead of the 2022 midterm election. Homicide rates in the U.S. rose in both 2020 and 2021, with some cities currently tracking an increase in firearm assaults. While some politicians can agree the increased violence is an issue, there has been no bipartisan proposals for a solution to combat the heightened levels of crime. Former NYPD Inspector and attorney Paul Mauro has proposed the formation of a Handgun Trafficking Task Force and he joins FOX’s Dana Perino to explain the prevalent role handguns play in crime statistics and why a task force would help crackdown on gun crimes. It's three weeks away from Election Day and President Biden's approval rating increased slightly in the latest FOX News poll. While Democrats are hopeful that issues such as abortion and January 6th hearings will be enough to energize voters, others believe it won't be enough as Republicans continue to poll strongly nationwide. FOX News Decision Desk Director Arnon Mishkin joins the Rundown to explain why Republicans are gaining momentum, as well as his predictions surrounding decisive races. Plus, commentary by Fox & Friends co-host and host of The Brian Kilmeade Show, Brian Kilmeade. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
