Summary

Congressional maps being redrawn across the country, sparking new legal battles ahead of the 2026 midterms. Following a major Supreme Court ruling on the Voting Rights Act, states like Florida and Virginia are facing challenges over how their districts are shaped and which party they favor. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to break down these redistricting battles and whether they will actually shift the balance of power in Washington. Plus, a look at the security questions surrounding the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting and a preview of Shannon’s upcoming sit-down with Justice Neil Gorsuch. Following an endorsement from President Trump, a significant public conversation has emerged surrounding the California gubernatorial race, Republican consolidation, and the broader implications for the state’s economic future. Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Steve Hilton joins to discuss his experience as a top contender in the polls, the challenges of navigating California’s primary system, and his proposed plan to reduce the state's bureaucratic government and high cost of living.  PLUS, commentary by David Marcus, columnist for FOX News Digital.  PHOTO CREDIT: ASSOCIATED PRESS Learn more about your ad choices.
