## Resource

Democrats saw a setback in the midterm redistricting war Friday as the Virginia State Supreme Court struck down a voter-approved map that heavily favored their party. The court’s decision comes on the heels of other redistricting battles across the country—including in states like Florida, Texas, Alabama, and New York—where both Republicans and Democrats are racing to secure more seats. FOX News Chief Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins the Rundown to discuss why the court’s decision to strike down a voter-approved referendum is being called a "seminal" moment that could define the fight for the House of Representatives.FOX News Chief Political Anchor and Host of Special Report Bret Baier joins the Rundown to discuss the political ramifications of the Iran conflict, the race against the clock for the Trump administration ahead of the midterms, and his new book, The Case for America.
