The campaign for the White House is in the final stretch as former President Trump and Vice President Harris start making their last pitches to voters on the trail. Vice President Harris has recruited former Presidents Obama and Clinton to make the case to voters in swing states to vote for Harris, while former President Trump has been on a media blitz, appearing on podcasts and forums across the nation. One of former President Trump’s campaign stops will be Georgia, where he is set to do a FOX News town hall with Faulkner Focus anchor Harris Faulkner. Harris Faulkner joins the Rundown to discuss what she is hoping to cover with the former President, what issues the voters are focusing on ahead of Election Day, and what she is seeing from both the Harris and Trump campaigns. An electoral tie in a presidential election is unlikely and rare; however, this year the odds of that scenario have increased. If both candidates were to secure 269 electoral votes each, Congress would step in as a tiebreaker. The process is more complicated and nuanced than it seems, and FOX News senior congressional correspondent Chad Pergram joins to game out how an electoral tie could happen and how it would be resolved. Plus, commentary by a former investment banker and author of ‘You Will Own Nothing,’ Carol Roth. Photo Credit: AP
