Next week’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, aims to emphasize the importance of winning the purple Midwestern state, where former President Trump now currently leads in the polls. Most election pundits consider Wisconsin key to a Republican victory in 2024, perhaps even winning back the Senate as well. Democratic incumbent Tammy Baldwin is fighting to keep her seat in the Badger State while her opponent, conservative businessman Eric Hovde, is running nearly unopposed for the GOP. Hovde joins the Rundown to discuss his primary race next month, why he chose to run for Senate twelve years after his first loss, and how the convention may help his party.
The Justice Department revealed on Tuesday that they have taken action to thwart a misinformation scheme that was led by a Russian intelligence officer and a journalist at Russia Today (which is controlled by the Kremlin). The plot involved over 1,000 “bot” accounts on X, formerly known as Twitter, that were sharing pro-Russia propaganda. FOX News Justice Correspondent David Spunt joins to explain how the covert propaganda campaign was uncovered, why artificial intelligence has made it harder to spot fake accounts, and how the American government has prepared for further foreign adversaries attempting digital interference.
Plus, commentary from FOX News contributor Joe Concha.
