Will Pump Price Concerns and Travel Hassles Shake Up the Midterms?

from The Fox News Rundown · host FOX News Podcasts

Could the combination of a mounting conflict abroad and political gridlock at home derail the current party's hopes of maintaining power in the upcoming midterms? Bruce Mehlman, founder of Mehlman Consulting, joins to discuss how the high costs of the war in Iran and the impasse over ICE reforms are shaping voter sentiment, the impact of the Supreme Court's upcoming election integrity case, and why the window for a political turnaround is rapidly closing as the nation heads toward the ballot box. As tax season heads into the home stretch, filing may be smoother than expected—but scammers are ramping up their efforts. Identity Theft Resource Center CEO Eva Velasquez warns that AI is making scams more convincing and easier to scale, blurring the line between legitimate messages and fraud across calls, texts, emails, and social media. She joins to break down the most common tax-season scams and how the advice to avoid them is evolving in an AI-driven world. Plus, commentary by Jason Chaffetz, FOX News contributor and the host of the Jason In The House podcast on FOX News Radio. PHOTO CRED: AP PHOTO Learn more about your ad choices.
