As New York voters head to the polls, a closely watched fight is underway over the future direction of the Democratic Party. Several Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates are competing in key congressional primaries, with support from New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and hopes of expanding the movement's influence beyond local politics. Democratic strategist Yemisi Egbewele joins the Rundown to discuss the DSA's push to elect a new wave of progressive candidates and what their success—or failure—could mean for the party heading into the midterms.
At the G7 Summit, President Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and spoke by phone with Russian Leader Vladimir Putin in hopes of brokering peace.

PLUS, commentary by David Marcus, columnist for FOX News Digital.
