## Resource

Midterm momentum is shifting. Following a high-stakes week of primary elections in Ohio, Indiana, and a pivotal special election in Michigan, the political landscape for this fall is coming into focus. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to analyze President Trump’s influence on state redistricting fights, and the significance of Democratic overperformance in swing states. Plus, a preview of the president's high-stakes trip to China. Motherhood is a tough job and with technology and social media, it’s made even more challenging. This Mother’s Day weekend, however, we get to celebrate the resilience of the women raising the next generation. Sheryl Ziegler is a licensed clinical psychologist and author of books like “Mommy Burnout” and “The Crucial Years.” She joins the Rundown to explore the rising tide of parental burnout, the factors contributing to it, and tips to handle it. PLUS, commentary by Dr. Tyler Evans, Founder/CEO of Wellness Equity Alliance. PHOTO CREDIT: ASSOCIATED PRESS Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
