Vice President Harris took the stage on the final night to lay out her vision for America, and to attack former President Trump on foreign policy, abortion, and the border crisis. As American voters assess the political landscape with 10 weeks to go until the election, the Middle East is seeing more violence with Israel launching pre-emptive attacks against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Mike Turner (R-OH-10) joins the Rundown to discuss the third anniversary of the United States' withdrawal from Afghanistan, how that decision destabilized the region, and he shares his reaction to the DNC and the election moving forward.
