Summary

President Biden and former President Trump agreed to terms for two presidential debates, one scheduled for June and another for September. Former President Trump has been calling out President Biden for months on the campaign trail, challenging him to debates. Now, voters will see both in action on stage, discussing the economy, the border, abortion, and other hot button issues impacting the country. Chairman and CEO of Stagwell Inc., chairman of the Harris Poll, and FOX News Contributor Mark Penn joins the Rundown to discuss what led President Biden to make the move to challenge the former President to debate, why swing voters are the key to the election, and what he expects out of each candidate. America is currently dealing with political and cultural unrest, with pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel protests taking place on college campuses. Various organizations and movements are working to bring people together during this divisive time, and The Builders Movement, a global initiative addressing the "us vs. them" mentality, launched earlier this week. Founder of KIND Snacks, Daniel Lubetzky, and co-founder of the Muhammad Ali Center, Lonnie Ali, joined the podcast to discuss the polarization in America, why extremist ideologies are given so much attention, and how civil dialogue could build a bridge between human beings on each side. Plus, commentary by FOX News contributor Deroy Murdock. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
