Today marks one year since the Hamas terror attacks on Israel that left over 1200 dead, and hundreds of others taken hostage. Throughout the 12 months since the attacks, Israel has worked to root out Hamas terrorists in Gaza and has moved into Lebanon to neutralize the Iranian proxy group Hezbollah. Domestically, President Biden is receiving criticism over his administration's handling of Hurricane Helene aid, with thousands of Americans in the Southeast currently without power and resources. Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-SD) joins the Rundown to reflect on the one-year mark since the Hamas attacks, his efforts to get Republican Senate candidates elected, and react to the Biden administration's response to Hurricane Helene. 

With one year passing since the Hamas terror attacks on Israel, families of hostages take on that day are growing weary that their loved ones may never be returned home. One of those hostages is 20-year-old Edan Alexander, who was born in Israel but was raised in New Jersey. His parents are hoping for a ceasefire agreement that could bring their son home. Edan's father, Adi Alexander joined the Rundown from a rally in Central Park, New York, held by hostage family members, to discuss his son's story, his hopes for his son's return and what he feels Israel needs to do to bring all of the hostages home. 

Plus, commentary from New York Post Columnist and author of Stolen Youth, Karol Markowicz.
