Summary

It's been over four months since WNBA player Brittney Griner was detained at a Moscow airport, accused of carrying vape cartridges with cannabis oil. Now, the basketball star resumes her trial in Russia facing drug charges that could land her 10 years in prison. After receiving a hand-written letter from Griner, the White House assured her family that the administration is working hard to bring her and other wrongfully detained Americans home. Retired CIA Clandestine Services Officer and FOX News Contributor Daniel Hoffman joins the Rundown to discuss what Griner’s experience in a Russian court will entail, a possible prisoner swap with a Russian arms dealer, and how the issue is sparking international tensions amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine. A recent Harvard CAPS–Harris poll found that seven in 10 Americans do not want to see President Biden run for reelection in 2024, with only 30 percent of Democrats in the survey saying they would vote for him in a Democratic presidential primary. As his support waivers, the President has emphasized his intentions to run for reelection and former President Trump has teased another presidential run as well. Founder and CEO of Stagwell Inc. and former Clinton advisor Mark Penn joins to discuss the factors causing faltering Democratic support for Biden, the benefit of contested primaries and which other presidential candidates may be waiting in the wings. Plus, commentary by former Defense Intelligence Agency Officer, Rebekah Koffler. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
