After months of anticipation, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis officially announced his 2024 presidential campaign from Miami, Florida this past week. 
The popular Republican governor is clearly the biggest threat to former President Trump, who has a big lead in the primary polls. But like in 2016, having a viable opponent could actually prove to be a benefit to Trump.
Shortly after Gov. DeSantis used Twitter to jump in to the race, host Lisa Brady spoke with Daron Shaw, Co-Director of the Fox News Poll and professor at The University of Texas at Austin, about the DeSantis impact on the GOP field, his campaign strategy so far, and how he or anyone can overcome Trump's commanding lead in the polls. 
Shaw discussed how he expected the other Republican candidates to respond to Gov. DeSantis and his 'glitchy' entrance in to the race. He also explained why it was more likely the Gov. DeSantis, not Trump, would be the main target of the Republicans vying to be the nominee.

In a FOX News Rundown Extra exclusive, you will hear our entire unedited interview with Co-Director of the Fox News poll Daron Shaw and get his complete breakdown of how the 2024 race so far.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ impeachment trial ended this week before it even began in the Senate. However, will Democrats now pay a political price for their quick dismissal of the charges? FOX News Sunday host Shannon Bream rejoins the Rundown to explain how the border crisis is still weighing on the minds of voters and how Democrats will continue to remain vulnerable over the issue. Bream also discusses the concerns about anti-Semitism on college campuses, the debate over basketball star Caitlin Clark’s WNBA salary, and the 25th anniversary of the Columbine shooting.
Many stories over the years about military veterans have been written in the form of books, television shows, and movies, but rarely do we hear the story behind the heroes—the Gold Star families of fallen soldiers. Army veteran, Gold Star mother, and author Gail Dwyer joins the podcast to discuss the inspiration behind her new book, "The Roof Above," a fictionalized account of an army spouse and her family. She explains the reality behind living as a partner and parent of military members and shares her memories of her son Stephen Dwyer, who died in November during a training exercise.

New York City police were called in by the President of Columbia University in order to break up an anti-Israel protest encampment.

FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Adam Lehman, the President and CEO of Hillel International, the largest Jewish student organization in the world, about the increasing anti-Israel protests happening on campuses across the country.

Evening Edition: Police Called To Break Up Anti-Israel Protest At Columbia

After 25 years at National Public Radio, Senior Editor Uri Berliner resigned Wednesday following backlash from fellow journalists regarding comments he made about NPR's political agenda. Berliner published an essay in The Free Press earlier this month critiquing his former employer's liberal bias, which allegedly increased following the 2016 election. Before his departure, Berliner was suspended from NPR for failing to secure approval to speak with other news outlets. Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and former member of the Board of Directors at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Howard Husock, joins the Rundown to share why people criticize NPR's public funding and why journalists should remain open-minded.

A part of the immigration debate came to an end Wednesday after both articles of impeachment against U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas were voted unconstitutional in the Senate. Illegal migrant encounters reached record levels in 2023, and released migrants are scattered throughout the U.S., with many ending up in self-proclaimed “sanctuary cities.” Denver Mayor Mike Johnston has announced the city plans to spend $90 million to help migrants who come to his city for six months. Within days of the Mayor’s announcement, two counties sued, challenging the state’s sanctuary laws. Douglas County Commissioner George Teal joins the podcast to explain the lawsuit, how Denver has reached “a critical mass point” with their migrant population, and how the issue threatens to spillover and hurt surrounding communities and migrants alike.

Evening Edition: 'Surviving Hamas': Stories Of The October 7th Terror Attack

On April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold gunned down twelve students and one teacher—at that time, this was the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history. Since then, there have been over 400 school shootings across the country, with 1 in 4 public school teachers saying they have been in a gun-related lockdown in the past year. Last week, the parents of Michigan school shooter Ethan Crumbley were sentenced to at least a decade in prison for missing opportunities to prevent the 2021 massacre. Columbine survivor and advocate Craig Scott joins the Rundown to reflect on 25 years since the infamous shooting, bring attention to his sister Rachel Scott's story, and share how to prevent future incidents.
The House Select Committee on China held a hearing this past Tuesday, sharing their findings that China is creating financial incentives for companies to create precursor chemicals in the manufacturing of fentanyl. Former Attorney General Bill Barr was among those testifying, and he stated that he was not surprised by the committee's findings. Congressman Seth Moulton (D-MA-6) and Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (R-IA-2) join the podcast to discuss the need for bipartisan action on the fentanyl crisis, how Congress can take action against China, and explain how Mexico impacts the flow of the drug.
Plus, commentary by Jimmy Failla, host of “Fox Across America with Jimmy Failla.”
