Following the passing of South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, many are reflecting on his influential role in shaping American foreign policy and his decades-long presence on Capitol Hill. Ben Domenech, host of The Big Ben Show podcast and a FOX News contributor, joins the Rundown to discuss what Graham's loss could mean for policy at home and abroad. Domenech also shares personal reflections on the senator's life and legacy, including his unique ability to work across the aisle while advancing conservative priorities.

Is Cuba next? While the U.S. remains in conflict with Iran, another potential crisis looms much closer to home. Cuba, which is already facing massive fuel shortages since President Trump cut off oil shipments and imposed additional sanctions on the island nation, is now being called a national security threat by the administration. The President has threatened to take even further action, creating speculation he could strike Cuba similarly to the operation against Venezuela earlier this year. Former Miami Mayor and FOX News contributor Francis Suarez joins the Rundown to discuss the situation on the ground and his new FOX Nation special, "Cuba: A New Dawn," which analyzes how President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are applying maximum economic pressure on the regime. He also explains the dangerous influence of adversarial nations like China, Russia, and Iran operating in the region.
