Summary

Democrats have scored major victories in key off-year elections, and democratic socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral win in New York City could be shaking up the party’s direction. Meanwhile, Republicans fell short in New Jersey and Virginia but are already looking ahead to the midterms. New York Republican Congressman Mike Lawler joins the Rundown to discuss what these results reveal about voter trends, how the GOP plans to regroup, plus the latest on the ongoing government shutdown as both parties face pressure to strike a deal. Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the way we live and work, sparking both excitement and concern about its impact on society, especially among younger generations growing up alongside it. Jamie Metzl, a technology futurist and author of "Superconvergence: How the Genetics, Biotech, and AI Revolutions Will Transform Our Lives, Work, and World," delves into AI's evolution from its origins to today's consumer applications. He also addresses the anxiety AI generates regarding job losses, privacy, and safety. Plus, commentary from commentary from Will Cain, host of FOX News Channel's The Will Cain Show and host of Will Cain Country on FOX News Audio. Learn more about your ad choices.
