The Fox News Rundown

Polls show the race between Vice President Harris and former President Trump is neck-and-neck, so what could be the deciding factor in who takes the White House? Many experts say it’s likely to come down to the usual heavy factor: the economy. The latest FOX News Poll showed that voters continue to have more confidence in the former President when it comes to economic leadership, while they sided with Vice President Harris when it came to trustworthiness. Pollster and President of Maslansky & Partners Lee Carter joins the Rundown to discuss why the economy might ultimately decide the election, how Vice President Harris may be wearing out her messaging to voters, and where the remaining undecided voters lie on the political spectrum.President Biden will address world leaders on Tuesday at the United Nations General Assembly as Israel and Hezbollah continue to exchange attacks, threatening to escalate into a wider conflict in the Middle East.

The Iranian President Pezeshkian will also address the UN assembly, where many expect Iran to rebuff the United States’ role in backing Israel against the likes of terror organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah. Former State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus joins to break down the current situation in Israel and the effort to continue funding aid to Ukraine.Plus, commentary by Fox News contributor and author of “The Big Guy,” Miranda Devine.Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices.

The Vice President Kamala Harris made an appearance in Michigan, being interviewed by Oprah Winfrey, and drew criticism for deflecting on questions about the economy and border security.

The new numbers sound almost too good to be true. After such a devastating run for the fentanyl-fueled opioid epidemic, pushing overdose deaths in the U.S. to more than 100,000, new public health data points to an unprecedented drop in fatalities. This past week, host Lisa Brady spoke with former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams about the reported decline in overdose deaths and what could be behind the positive trend.Dr. Adams said awareness and increased access to overdose-reversing drugs could be critical factors. However, he also warned America should not ‘spike the football,’ as the nation's drug crisis is still very lethal, and deaths remain significantly higher than just a few years ago. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. This week on the FOX News Rundown, we will share our entire interview with former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams, where he further discusses America’s drug epidemic and also weighs in on the growing popularity of nitrous gas and legal marijuana among youth.

The 2024 presidential race remains neck-and-neck. The latest FOX News poll gives Vice President Kamala Harris a slight edge – but still within the margin of error - over former President Donald Trump. With less than seven weeks before election day, both candidates are blitzing key battleground states. However, unlike Trump, Harris has mostly avoided the media by doing few interviews and not holding traditional news conferences. Earlier this week, FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony spoke with The Story anchor Martha MacCallum about the state of the 2024 presidential race and both candidates’ media strategies. The FOX News star also discussed the historic nature of this race and the long list of extraordinary events that have taken place in the past few months, including President Biden dropping out of the race and the two assassination attempts on former President Trump. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. This week on the FOX News Rundown, we will share our entire interview with FOX News’ Martha MacCallum, and you’ll hear even more of her perspective on this incredible presidential race and what could happen in the coming weeks.  Learn more about your ad choices.
