Summary

It’s Election Day in two states, where voters are prepared to cast their ballots for races that could shape the balance of power in Washington and have major ramifications for one state’s judicial system. In Florida, two vacancies in Congress have sparked special elections on April 1, and polling favors the Republican Party in both races. In the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, the election could determine if the court flips into conservative control. Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer joins to explain why he is expecting positive outcomes for the GOP. President Trump's "reciprocal tariffs" are scheduled to kick in tomorrow on imports from any country that charges more than the United States. Pennsylvania Senate Republican Dave McCormick joins the Rundown to explain why he’s optimistic Americans will benefit from Trump’s tariff strategy in the long term. He also discusses the Trump tax cuts, his relationship with Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman, and what inspired the book he co-wrote with his wife, Dina Powell McCormick, “Who Believed In You: How Purposeful Mentorship Changes The World.” Plus, commentary from FOX News Digital columnist David Marcus.
