In two weeks, on Tuesday, New Jersey voters will determine which candidates for governor will appear on the ballot in November. Last year, former President Donald Trump came within six percent of winning the Garden State, highlighting its shift toward the right. Former New Jersey Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli joins the Rundown to discuss his decision to run for governor again after losing to Governor Phil Murphy (D) in 2021.

It has been nearly two years since a Supreme Court decision ended affirmative action in college admissions. Some may remember the prominent cases against Harvard and the University of North Carolina in which a 6-3 decision found that affirmative action violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Riley has written a book analyzing the historical context for race considerations in school admissions in his book, The Affirmative Action Myth: Why Blacks Don’t Need Racial Preferences to Succeed. Riley joins the podcast to share some key lessons from his book.

Plus, commentary from co-founder of the 'Mom Wars" newsletter and podcast, Bethany Mandel.
