Episode Details

Texas voters head to the polls for a high-stakes Republican Senate runoff that could test President Trump’s influence once again. Senator John Cornyn is fighting to fend off a Trump-endorsed challenge from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, as both candidates argue they are best positioned to keep the seat in Republican hands ahead of November. With several recent GOP incumbents losing primaries across the country, the outcome could signal how much sway the President still holds within the party heading into the midterms. University of Texas Professor and FOX News Decision Desk member Daron Shaw joins the Rundown to break down the political stakes in Texas, and what the race could mean for Republicans nationwide.
Mental health awareness has helped reduce stigma and encouraged more people to seek support, but some experts warn the culture surrounding therapy may be creating new problems. Psychotherapist and author Jonathan Alpert joins the Rundown to discuss his new book, Therapy Nation, and why he believes Americans are becoming too quick to identify with mental health struggles instead of working through them.

PLUS, commentary by Karol Markowicz, columnist for the New York Post and FOX News.
