Summary

The Pennsylvania primary will take place this Tuesday, with many looking closely at the GOP Senate race. For months, much of the focus has been on candidates Dr. Mehmet Oz and David McCormick, who have been the clear frontrunners. But in just the past few days, Kathy Barnette has surprised the political world as she has dramatically risen in the polls and created a virtual three-way tie. Earlier in the week, host Jessica Rosenthal spoke with political commentator Kathy Barnette about her late surge, what sets her apart from the other candidates and why she thinks she represents the MAGA movement without getting the endorsement of former President Trump. Barnette also discussed why she revealed at a recent debate that she was a byproduct of rape and how her unique and challenging background helped shape her views on abortion and other issues. Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the conversation in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear the entire discussion with U.S. Senate Candidate Kathy Barnette and hear more of her perspective on the race and her life story.
