Summary

Earlier this year, Democrats were having a discussion about Senator Diane Feinstein's fitness for office at her advanced age. This past week, after Senator Mitch McConnell's second instance of freezing in a press conference, Republicans were forced to have similar talks. These conversations are coming amid a difficult time in Washington and the country. Florida is recovering from Hurricane Idalia, and in Maui recently, a community was devastated by wildfires. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joined to discuss all these topics and more. Due to time limitations, we could not include our entire conversations in the FOX News Rundown segment that ran this week. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear the complete interview with Shannon Bream. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
