Why Gen Z Loves President Trump ... And Zohran Mamdani

Gen Z is entering adulthood in one of the toughest economies in decades, facing record debt, soaring housing costs, and limited job prospects. Their financial struggles may be starting to shape how they vote and who they trust to fix the economy. FOX News contributor and Gen Z’er Kaylee McGee White joins the Rundown to discuss how financial pressures are influencing the next generation’s politics, leading some of them to support anti-establishment candidates like Zohran Mamdani and President Donald Trump. On Monday, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa became the first Syrian leader to visit the White House. Al-Sharaa, who assumed leadership of Syria after leading a rebel group that overthrew the Assad regime, was previously a militant in an al-Qaeda-linked group and was captured by American forces while fighting against the U.S. in Iraq in 2006. FOX News senior correspondent Benjamin Hall joins the Rundown to discuss Monday’s extraordinary White House meeting, whether America should trust al-Sharaa given his 'rough past,' and what a friendly relationship between Syria and the U.S. could mean for the region.
