Summary

After two competing healthcare plans failed to advance in the Senate on Thursday, pressure is growing for Congress to come up with an alternative solution before subsidies for the Affordable Care Act appear set to expire at the end of the year. That will result in higher costs for millions of Americans. FOX News Chief Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins the Rundown to unpack the state of healthcare debate in Congress. Then, Chad discusses the ongoing redistricting fight and a Supreme Court case that could alter the balance of Congress for decades to come. Later, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) joins to discuss what he hopes to learn from former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s when he speaks with the House Judiciary Committee next week.
