Days after the attempted assassination of former President Trump, he appeared at the first night of the Republican National Convention. The convention’s opening day unveiled the Trump-Vance 2024 ticket, as Ohio Senator JD Vance was selected as the GOP’s vice presidential nominee. The theme of the first night, "Making America Wealthy Again," featured speakers focusing on the economy and how a second Trump administration would further American prosperity. FOX News Radio Political Anchor Jared Halpern and FOX News Radio Political Analyst Josh Kraushaar join the Rundown to talk about President Trump's first public appearance since the attempt on his life, the significance of the Senator Vance VP pick, and if the economic message will resonate with voters in November.
In Florida, another legal victory for former President Trump and another legal setback for special counsel Jack Smith. On Monday, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the criminal case against the former President’s illegal handling of classified documents, a decision the Department of Justice says they plan to appeal. FOX News contributor and former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andy McCarthy joins to discuss why he believes a key legal clause takes away Jack Smith’s authority to prosecute, how the Supreme Court’s immunity decision impacts other Trump legal cases, and the role of politicized prosecutions in the 2024 race.
