The countdown to Election Day is quickly dwindling, with only 15 days until the much-anticipated midterms across the country. With stakes high as Democrats and Republicans vie to take the majority in both the House and the Senate, all eyes are on tight races in competitive states like Georgia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman and Minnesota Congressman Tom Emmer has gotten an in-depth look at the campaign trail thus far as he travels across several states supporting fellow GOP Congressional members and candidates. Rep. Emmer joins the Rundown to discuss how the energy amongst Republican voters is “getting stronger every day” and why he feels many traditionally Democratic voters will be voting red this election cycle. He also shares his enthusiasm as the GOP becomes the most diverse it’s ever been in the party’s history. NASA has confirmed that the DART mission to test the United States’ capabilities to change the trajectory of asteroid threats to Earth has been a resounding success.

Astrophysicist and Director of the Hayden Planetarium, Neil deGrasse Tyson joins the podcast to explain why the DART mission is such a big step forward for NASA and the potential that space may be militarized in the future.
