Summary

Redistricting battles are heating up, with Republican-led states pushing to redraw congressional maps ahead of the next census, while Democrats promise to reciprocate. The back-and-forth is sparking legal questions and reigniting debates over gerrymandering and whether undocumented immigrants should be counted in the census. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to discuss the partisan fight over redistricting and what's at stake for both parties. Bream also weighs in on the investigation into former Special Counsel Jack Smith and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s vow to take control of Gaza. This week marks eighty years since the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japan. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were unprecedented, causing a level of destruction the world had never witnessed before, but they ultimately led to the end of the Second World War. Dr. Rebecca Grant, a national security and military analyst and senior fellow at the Lexington Institute, joins to discuss why President Truman decided to drop the first atomic bombs and the ramifications of those actions. Don't miss the good news with Tonya J. Powers. Plus, commentary from the host of “The Big Ben Show,” Ben Domenech. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices.
