Summary

Republican Texas Rep. Bill Flores announced that he will not be seeking reelection in 2020. He is one of the many Republicans to announce their retirement. It is a factor that could make it more difficult for the GOP to recapture a majority in next year's elections. FOX's National Correspondent Jared Halpern and Fox News Politics Editor Chris Stirewalt weigh in on the increasing wave of retirements within the GOP and what this means for the upcoming 2020 election. Hurricane Dorian has weakened significantly since it battered the Bahamas but remains a dangerous and powerful storm. Lt. Col. Jeff Ragusa is a member of the "Hurricane Hunters", the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron in the Air Force Reserve. He has flown through Dorian five times, and he describes what it's like. Plus, commentary by FOX News Headlines 24/7's sports reporter, Jared Max. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
