The Push To End Government Shutdowns, For Good
Description
The federal government shut down on Wednesday for the first time in nearly seven years after Congress failed to reach a funding deal. Historically, shutdowns have proven costly for taxpayers and inconvenient for Americans who travel or rely on government services. Republican South Dakota Congressman Dusty Johnson joins the Rundown to discuss why he believes shutdowns are ill-advised and what legislation could be implemented to prevent them in the future.
A new FOX News Poll shows Democrat Mikie Sherrill ahead of Republican Jack Ciattarelli in New Jersey's competitive gubernatorial race. The closer-than-expected contest in this typically loyal Blue State has both parties speculating about what its outcome might predict for the 2026 and 2028 election cycles. Daron Shaw, a Professor of Government at the University of Texas at Austin and a member of the FOX News Decision Desk, joins the Rundown to discuss why New Jersey is receiving so much attention this fall, which other races are being closely watched this year, and the challenges of polling in the modern age.
