Summary

On Monday, the U.S. Department of Justice announced charges against 13 people, including suspected Chinese intelligence officers in three separate cases that involve various alleged conspiracies to stimulate China’s interests in the United States. Former Chief of Staff to National Intelligence Director John Ratcliffe, Dustin Carmack discusses the magnitude of the charges, his read on the complex relationship between the two governments, and thoughts on the DOJ’s response. Later, he weighs in on China’s potential political operation aimed to influence the upcoming Midterm Elections. With the 2022 Midterm Elections less than two weeks away, the FOX News Power Rankings show a significant shift in momentum to the Republican side. The GOP expects to take back the House and is hoping to pull off upsets to regain control of the Senate. Axios Senior Political Correspondent, Josh Kraushaar explains the impact on voters of the recent debate between Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman and Republican opponent Dr. Mehmet Oz. Josh also highlights the bellwether races in the House that could predict the outcome of the midterms, and the voting issues that are pushing polling in the Republicans’ favor.
