On this episode of Fox Across America, Jimmy Failla gives his take on Nithya Raman overtaking Spencer Pratt for second place in the Los Angeles mayoral election, not even a week after she essentially gave a concession speech on election night. CEO of the Education Freedom Foundation Erika Donalds discusses how the Trump administration has taken steps to give parents more options for their children by prioritizing school choice. PLUS, host of “BT Unleashed” on YouTube Brandon Tierney checks in to preview Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs and talk about how rowdy he expects the crowd to get at Madison Square Garden with President Trump in the building.
