How RFK Jr. Could Play Spoiler In 2024

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has chosen Nicole Shanahan as his vice-presidential pick. In his Tuesday speech, he welcomed Shanahan to the ticket, saying the young 38-year-old mother, lawyer, and tech entrepreneur would help him take on the rising national debt, government overreach, and political polarization. Some recent polls show President Biden and former President Trump neck-and-neck in a few battleground states. If RFK Jr. was able to get on the ballot in more states, could he play spoiler in 2024? FOX News Audio political analyst Josh Kraushaar joins the Rundown to break down the Shanahan VP pick, what kind of voters are drawn to RFK’s third party run, and why Kennedy’s candidacy poses a threat to both the Trump and Biden campaigns. The date is set for the first of four criminal trials that former President Donald Trump faces while running for reelection. On April 15th, jury selection will begin in New York, where he is being charged with falsifying records and making alleged hush-money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Trump continues to assert that each case is a witch hunt or a hoax, all attempts to interfere with the presidential election. FOX News contributor and former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Andrew McCarthy, joins the podcast to discuss why Alvin Bragg has no authority to enforce federal campaign finance laws and how these cases will impact the rest of his campaign.

Supreme Court Takes A Closer Look At Access To Abortion Pill

Today, the Supreme Court hears arguments in a case that could decide future access to the abortion drug mifepristone. The highly effective pill is taken to terminate a pregnancy, and shortly after Roe v. Wade was overturned, the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine sued the Federal Drug Administration for their quick approval and wide accessibility guidelines for mifepristone. Both the GOP and the Biden administration have seized upon this Supreme Court case as a political moment--a chance to talk to voters about the issue. President of the Alliance Defending Freedom, Kristin Waggoner, joins the Rundown to explain her organization’s argument against expanded access to this abortion pill and the huge impact this SCOTUS case may have. Last week, over one hundred Russians died at the hands of terrorists after four men opened fire at a concert hall in Moscow. However, President Vladimir Putin is blaming Ukraine, despite ISIS-K claiming credit for the attack and various Western intelligence agencies showing evidence corroborating their assertions. FOX News correspondent Benjamin Hall joins the podcast to describe what led up to the carnage, why Putin is shifting blame towards Ukraine, and explain why the United States and the Taliban share disdain for the same terrorist organization.
