Back to Washington With the Midterms in Sight

Author: FOX News Radio August 31, 2026 Duration: 30:29
Labor Day is unofficially marking the start of midterm season; the moment voters begin tuning into the critical choices shaping November. With narrow congressional margins, Republican leadership faces a tight window to pass a budget, clear legislative hurdles, and set the narrative before early voting begins. Political strategist Colin Reed, co-founder of South & Hill Strategies, joins the Rundown to unpack what lawmakers should prioritize in the months ahead. As both parties look toward November and the fight for control of Congress, Reed examines whether governing or gaining the majority will take center stage. As summer begins to wind down and many students are already back in school, this time of year serves as a natural "second New Year" and a prime opportunity to reset your goals, habits and career. Former Peloton Instructor turned Performance Strategist Ross Rayburn joins Dana Perino to share practical insights on lowering the stakes of resolutions, using breathwork techniques to regulate anxiety and performance, and making courageous career pivots. PLUS, commentary by Tomi Lahren, co-host on FOX News Channel's The Big Weekend Show, and the host of Tomi Lahren is Fearless on Outkick.com. PHOTO CREDIT: AP IMAGES Learn more about your ad choices.
