Candidates sparred on the economy, social media, and healthcare in Simi Valley, California, where the GOP presidential candidates are hoping to be the ones to take on former President Trump for the nomination. Meanwhile, in Washington, journalists and lawmakers alike are forecasting that a government shutdown is nearly certain to come in the next few days. On the Rundown, FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to explain how combative energy played for some candidates in the FOX Business debate and the ground being gained by former Ambassador Nikki Haley. Later, she explains how a government shutdown affects Americans and the policy split in the GOP over spending.

Earlier this week, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy rejected a stopgap spending bill in the Senate, bringing the U.S. government that much closer to a potential shutdown. If House Republicans do not agree on a deal by October 1st, thousands of government workers will be furloughed until an agreement is reached. U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg joins the podcast to explain the true impact of a government shutdown. He shared how exactly an event like this would compromise flight safety and cause delays. He weighs in on the role electric vehicles are playing in the United Auto Workers’ Strike and why it will be important for America to embrace EVs in the long run.
