Summary

One month after the capture of Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela remains in a state of "Madurismo without Maduro" as his inner circle clings to power despite escalating U.S. pressure. Meanwhile, Cuba’s energy crisis reaches a breaking point as the Trump administration moves to "choke off" the island’s oil supply. Ahead of a high-stakes White House meeting with Colombian President Gustavo Petro, FOX Noticias anchor Andrea Linares joins the Rundown to break down the shifting Latin American landscape.Both Republicans and Democrats are sharpening their 20-26 Midterms strategies in order to address voter concerns over economic affordability and rising healthcare costs. Chief communications officer for Targeted Victory, Matt Gorman, and former U.S. Senate candidate in Ohio, Morgan Harper, join the Rundown to debate how Republicans can defend their record and whether Democrats can offer their own concrete policy agenda. They analyze recent electoral shifts and what it will take for either side to secure a majority this November. Plus, commentary by FOX News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett.
