Summary

Democratic ad dollars in Michigan went towards supporting the Trump-backed GOP primary challenger John Gibbs, resulting in the defeat of freshman Republican Rep. Peter Meijer, who voted to impeach former President Trump. After the election last week, Congressman Meijer joins the Rundown to discuss the hypocrisy of the Democrats who meddled in his primary for a marginal advantage in 2022, why he expected to be a high-value target of Democratic groups, and his belief in prioritizing governing over winning. Later he explains his pride in his Congressional legacy, his support of the PACT act to help veterans impacted by toxic burn pits, and what direction he believes the GOP is headed. The United States' southern border is experiencing a surge in migrant traffic, leading to low morale among border agents and states are feeling the urgent need for more manpower to monitor the situation. In FOX Nation's new 'Broken Border Crisis' special, FOX News National Correspondent Griff Jenkins explores the smuggling operations that are taking place at the southern border. He joins the Rundown with a closer look at how Texas Governor Greg Abbott is handling the issue, why so many migrants are willing to make the dangerous journey into the United States, and what is currently needed in order to make the border more secure. Plus, commentary by Democratic strategist and former Biden campaign surrogate Kevin Walling. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
