President Trump Hits The Trail In America’s Heartland

President Trump is hitting the road today, traveling to Iowa to kick off campaign events for this year's Midterm Elections in hopes that Republicans can keep control of both the House and the Senate. Recently, Republicans' messaging has centered around restoring "common sense and sanity" in government and putting more money back in the pockets of working families. Iowa Republican Congresswoman Ashley Hinson is running for Senator Joni Ernst's seat. She joins the Rundown to discuss her plans to address Americans' concerns and the importance of agriculture.
As House Republicans prepare a series of high-stakes hearings into widespread fraud in Minnesota, taxpayers and lawmakers are asking a critical question: how deep does the rabbit hole go? Federal prosecutions have already exposed a $250 million scheme involving the Feeding Our Future nonprofit, and a new wave of allegations surrounding the state's Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) has brought Minnesota to the center of a national firestorm. Scott Dexter, a retired fraud investigator from the Minnesota Department of Human Services Inspector General’s office, joins the Rundown to explain how the system failed, and whether Minnesota is just the beginning.

Plus, commentary by Lee Hartley Carter, president of Maslansky and Partners.
