An Unexpected Tight Senate Race In Utah
Utah has been a reliably red state for decades, however many are looking to this state during the 2022 midterms, as the Senate race is closer than most pundits expected. Independent challenger Evan McMullin is reportedly narrowly behind two-time Republican incumbent Senator Mike Lee, with one poll suggesting there are still over 10 percent of Utahns undecided ahead of Election Day. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) joins the Rundown to explain how he plans to prioritize key voter concerns like inflation and border security, why he believes his Senate opponent is campaigning as an Independent, and his hopes that the midterms will ‘counterbalance’ the White House with a Republican-controlled Congress.
The Supreme Court is hearing two cases regarding the race-based admission programs of Harvard University and the University of North Carolina. While Harvard is facing accusations of discrimination against white and Asian American students, plaintiffs against the University of North Carolina are arguing against the use of race as a factor within the admissions process. FOX News Legal Contributor and Law Professor at George Washington University Jonathan Turley joins the Rundown to discuss the legality of affirmative action policies and the impact the cases could have on admissions and diversity in universities across the country.
