The Democratic Party's Identity Crisis

from The Fox News Rundown · host FOX News Podcasts

Iowa Senator Joni Ernst (R) plans to announce that she will not run for reelection next year. This move would open up a potentially competitive race in the Hawkeye State. Democrats are eyeing the open Senate seat; however, the party continues to struggle in statewide elections and hasn't won a Senate race in Iowa since 2008. Colin Reed, founding partner at South and Hill Strategies, joins the Rundown to discuss what happens next in Iowa and why Democratic messaging continues to fall flat in the Hawkeye State. Kids today are reporting higher levels of stress and anxiety than ever before, with experts saying constant screen time and social media are major drivers. Jonathan Haidt, social psychologist at New York University and author of "The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness," joins the Rundown to break down how the digital age may be reshaping childhood and what steps we can take right now to address this crisis. Plus, commentary from the host of FOX Across America and FOX News Saturday Night, Jimmy Failla. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
