It is Election Day, and while each race in New Jersey, Virginia, and New York City has featured issues unique to its area, this off-year election cycle is getting a lot of national attention. Part of that is because of President Trump’s influence on all three contests and what their outcomes may tell us about 2026 and 2028. Co-host of America's Newsroom, Bill Hemmer, joins the Rundown to break down all three races, the surging popularity of New York City mayoral candidate Democrat Zohran Mamdani, and whether victory by him may suggest a real shift for the Democratic party.

California voters are deciding on “Proposition 50” today, a measure that could push back against a mid-decade redistricting effort seen in several GOP-led states. It marks the latest chapter in the ongoing national battle over how political maps are drawn and whether those efforts will remain with changing administrations. Bruce Mehlman, founder of his own bipartisan government relations firm, joins the Rundown to explain how both parties have used gerrymandering to gain political advantage, why achieving truly bipartisan redistricting is so difficult, and how these tactics are fueling a broader loss of public trust in government.

Plus, commentary from Jason Rantz, the host of The Jason Rantz Show, which can be heard weekday afternoons on KTTH Seattle.
