Author: FOX News Radio May 18, 2026 Duration: 34:01
Six more states head to the polls this Tuesday as the 2026 primary season intensifies. Following results in Louisiana that saw incumbent Senator Bill Cassidy ousted from a runoff, targeted Republicans in Alabama, Georgia, Ohio, Kentucky, Oregon, and Pennsylvania are on high alert. Is the "Trump Effect" reshaping the GOP landscape ahead of the November midterms? Political strategist and co-founder of South and Hill Strategies, Colin Reed, joins the Rundown to break down the key battlegrounds. The push for cryptocurrency regulation on Capitol Hill just cleared a major hurdle, but experts warn that finding true "clarity" is a marathon, not a print. The Clarity Act is now heading to the Senate floor after a bipartisan vote in the Senate Banking Committee—though not without fierce opposition from critics. FOX Business’ Darren Botelho, was on the ground at the Capitol for the vote. He joins the Rundown to dive into how this bill differs from last year's Genius Act, and why community banks are terrified of these digital firms.
