The GOP Field Is Playing Catch Up

In poll after poll, the majority of voters say they do not want a Biden-Trump rematch in 2024; however, the beginning stages of the campaign suggest that is what Americans may be in for. Despite the deep bench of qualified Republicans, former President Trump continues to command the GOP primary race and mainstream news cycle with his latest indictment. Meanwhile, President Biden has continued touring the U.S., touting his economic accomplishments that the White House has branded ‘Bidenomics.’ Co-director of the Fox News Poll and professor at the University of Texas at Austin, Daron Shaw, joins the Rundown to explain what lanes exist for GOP primary candidates as the former President maintains strong support, how the Hunter Biden situation could threaten President Biden’s favorability advantage in the election, and how social issues are throwing a wrench in 2024 campaigns.

Following the pandemic and the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Americans have been feeling pain at the pump, with gas prices reaching record highs. However, there are new factors contributing to the ever-frequent price hikes, like the summer’s extreme heat waves, which caused refinery breakdowns and equipment failures. On the Rundown, Phil Flynn, an oil trader and FOX Business Network contributor, discusses why the Biden administration’s release of barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve was only a short-term solution, why electric vehicles aren’t a realistic option for working-class Americans, and shares why people think the rise in prices is unexpected due to the Department of Energy underreporting oil demand for the past six months.
