| 0:00.0 | I'm Brian Kilmead. I'm Martha McCallum. I'm David Asman, and this is the Fox News Rundown. |
| 0:09.0 | Thursday, May 14th, 2026. I'm Jessica Rosenthal. This primary season, some U.S. senators are facing challengers from the left or the right, and one incumbent fighting to keep his seat will find out this weekend |
| 0:21.5 | if he gets to run for a third term. So I feel very comfortable with where the polls are. |
| 0:26.5 | I anticipate doing very well on Saturday, and I anticipate having another term as a senator from |
| 0:32.1 | the great state of Louisiana. We speak with Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy. I'm Grinnell Scott. |
| 0:37.9 | We are weeks away from the celebration of America's birthday, and it's a big one this year, 250. |
| 0:44.0 | And among the gifts being given to our future generations is a new children's book that looks at the people of the past. |
| 0:51.4 | I know kids love superheroes, but I think we have a lot of them in our history, |

| 1:45.1 | Ken Paxton. And in Louisiana, Congresswoman Julia Letlow is challenging Senator Bill Cassidy. |
| 1:51.0 | She has President Trump's endorsement. Letlow told the Fox News Rundown podcast this week, |
| 1:55.6 | she decided to run because of Cassidy's vote nearly six years ago following the January 6th Capitol riot. |
