Summary

The theme of night two of the Republican National Convention was safety, but it quickly became about party unity. Former 2024 rivals of President Trump, like Ambassador Nikki Haley and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, appeared on stage to put their support behind their Republican nominee. The original theme was not completely lost, as everyday Americans like the family of Rachel Morin, a mother killed by an illegal migrant, had their chance to share their experience with America's crime crisis. FOX News Radio's Political Analyst Josh Kraushaar and FOX News Radio Washington Correspondent Jared Halpern join the Rundown to share their reaction to the show of unity and how the safety and security message may resonate with voters. Nearly four days after former President Donald Trump narrowly escaped assassination, federal investigators are still trying to piece together the security failures that led to a gunman being able to get multiple shots off at Saturday's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. However, new reports indicate that the Secret Service ramped up security after receiving intelligence about an Iranian plot to assassinate Trump. So, what went wrong? Former Secret Service agent Tim Miller explains the importance of proper sight assessments and why the former president's security detail needs to be held accountable for their mistake. Plus, commentary by Jimmy Failla, host of “Fox Across America with Jimmy Failla.” Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
