Summary

With the 2022 midterms approaching, Democrats are grappling with increasing expectations that their party will suffer major losses. Republicans are seeking to take back control of Congress in November as President Biden’s recent approval ratings hit 33 percent with voter support waning on key issues like rising inflation, crime and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Republican strategist and former Campaign Manager for Senator Scott Brown, Colin Reed joins to break down how crucial the economy and candidate quality will be in 2022. Democratic pollster and CEO of Schoen Cooperman Research, Carly Cooperman joins later to share how she believes Democrats can beat expectations and increase enthusiasm through addressing local issues. Philadelphia made headlines as the first major U.S. city to bring back its indoor mask mandate due to a recent spike in COVID cases. The news has frustrated many restaurant owners who have long changed their dining policies to accommodate safety measures. They're able to bypass the mask mandate so long as they require proof of vaccination for entry. Spoonie O'Neal is the owner of O'Neals Pub in Philadelphia. He joins the Rundown to discuss how the pandemic has impacted his business, the current guidelines under which he's working, and the confusion caused by the constantly changing rules. Plus, commentary by Fox News contributor Joe Concha. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
