Summary

The Trump Administration's agenda is encountering legal challenges on multiple fronts, including the president's tariffs, attempts to withhold federal funding from universities, and efforts to crack down on crime in certain cities. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to break down these legal battles and weigh in on controversies surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein probe, Florida’s vaccine mandate ban, and the recent military strike on a suspected Tren de Aragua drug trafficking boat off of the coast of Venezuela. To regain control of the Senate, the Democrats need to flip four seats and defend the ones they currently hold in next year's midterm elections. Iowa Republican Congresswoman Ashley Hinson has announced her candidacy for the Senate seat currently held by the retiring Joni Ernst, a seat the Democrats believe may be in play. She joins the Rundown to discuss her campaign, how Iowans feel about the President's trade policies, and her plans to keep that seat red. Plus, commentary from the host of “Tomi Lahren is Fearless" on Outkick, Tomi Lahren. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
