Two IRS whistleblowers testified before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, alleging the Department of Justice had meddled in the probe investigating the President’s son, Hunter Biden. IRS Special Agent Joseph Ziegler joined fellow agent Gary Shapley in saying he “felt handcuffed” while conducting the investigation. Republican lawmakers focused on the whistleblowers’ claims of irregularities in the probe, while Democratic lawmakers highlighted that the prosecutor in charge had told Congress he had complete investigative autonomy. But what do voters think of all this? Pollster and President of Maslansky + Partners, Lee Carter, joins the Rundown to explain what the polls tell us about the impact of these probes and Oversight hearings on Americans’ 2024 votes. Later, she explains what polling suggests will be the most influential voting issues.
Third parties in the United States historically do not perform well in presidential elections. However, on Monday, the No Labels campaign announced that they may add a name to the ticket on the condition that former President Donald Trump and Vice President Joe Biden become the official party nominees. No Labels says they aim to give Americans who dislike these candidates a chance to vote for someone who has nuanced, moderate opinions. Some fear that a third party may spoil the election by taking votes away from one candidate and inadvertently boosting the other. No Labels National Director, Joe Cunningham, joins the podcast to detail what it would take for No Labels to present a third-party candidate, share the history behind No Labels, and explain why West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin is rumored to be their candidate.
Plus, commentary by President of Students for Life of America, Kristan Hawkins.
