As the 2026 midterm environment takes shape, Republicans are grappling with razor-thin margins and a series of high-profile resignations that have left the House in a state of flux. However, while Democrats may hold a historical advantage heading into this fall’s elections, mounting scandals and the 'socialist' label are threatening their momentum. FOX News Radio political analyst Josh Kraushaar joins to discuss if favorable redistricting and shifting Senate ratings are enough to hand Democrats the House, or if the party's leftward lean will stall their path to a majority. Medical tourism—particularly for cosmetic surgery—is surging as patients travel abroad in search of lower-cost procedures. However, these savings often come with significant risks. Board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of Nazarian Plastic Surgery, Dr. Sheila Nazarian, joins the Rundown to lay out the dangers of traveling for surgery and the pressure of keeping up with ever-changing cosmetic trends.
