Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was wrongfully detained in Russia months ago after they accused him of espionage. More bad news followed this week, as Gershkovich lost his appeal to the charges and will now remain imprisoned until August. Fox’s Ben Hall speaks first with House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul about the uphill battle the U.S. faces in negotiating the return of Americans like Gershkovich and retired Marine Paul Whelan who are detained in Russia, the weakness of the Biden administration’s negotiations, and what the nation must do instead of prisoner swaps. Later, Ben Hall speaks with the brother of the detained Paul Whelan, David Whelan, about concerns for his brother’s safety and why more must be done to save Paul and Evan, who are suffering in Russian prison.
North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum is among the many Republicans vying for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, but there’s a good chance you didn’t know that. A recent Quinnipiac University poll says that 9 out of 10 voters don’t know who Governor Burgum is. The billionaire North Dakota governor has spent $2.9 million on campaign advertisements to get his name out there, spending more than both Florida Governor DeSantis and frontrunner former President Donald Trump. Governor Burgum joins the Rundown to tout his economic accomplishments, share his campaign strategy, and explain why he is the best alternative to Joe Biden.
