Evening Edition: Minnesota Rep. Stauber Says Gov. Walz Will Be Out Of Office Next November
The House Oversight Committee is intensifying their investigation into the state of Minnesota hemorrhaging funds through fraud schemes in its social benefit programs. The Department of Justice says one of the largest schemes involved 'the Feeding Our Future scheme' which resulted in a $250 million loss when fraudsters received payments from the state for services that were never fulfilled. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has frozen all childcare payments to Minnesota, and the Small Business Administration (SBA) suspended nearly 7-thousand loans amid the mounting scrutiny over accusations of fraud involving child daycare centers across the state.
FOX's Ryan Schmelz speaks with Rep. Pete Stauber (R-MN) says the scams are so numerous in his state that he calls it 'incompetence or dereliction of duty', and Governor Walz will be out of office in November.

Redistricting Wars Set the Stage for 2026
Last year's push to redraw congressional maps was designed to reshape the battlefield for the 2026 midterm elections, with Texas leading a GOP-backed effort that quickly triggered counter-moves by Democrats in states like California. The unusual mid-decade redistricting fight spread to several other states, drew sharp political backlash, and has already landed in court, with the Supreme Court allowing Texas’ new map to remain in place for now. Kyle Kondik, managing editor of Sabato’s Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia Center for Politics, joins the Rundown to break down whether these map changes will actually move the needle in the midterms.

Former Indiana Governor and former OMB Director Mitch Daniels joins the Rundown to break down the lack of political will to address the debt crisis, what’s politically realistic in the year ahead to rein it in.

Evening Edition: Are Politics Inspiring Anti-Semitic Violence?
Examples of anti-Semitic and terror attacks towards Jews around the world have surged in recent years, especially since October 7th and the ensuing war. Last month, a father and son duo in Australia killed fifteen people and injured more than two dozen others at a Hanukah celebration, which authorities called an ISIS-inspired terrorist attack. Following the attack, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he warned Australia that the country’s policies began festering an anti-Semitic tone after calling for the formation of a Palestinian State.
FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Rabbi Yaakov Menken, the Executive Vice President of the Coalition for Jewish Values, who says these anti-Semitic attacks should not just be viewed as hatred towards Jewish lives, but hatred towards all life.
