Could More Candidates Soon Enter The 2024 Race?
The week has kicked off with major 2024 news as Senator Tim Scott launches a presidential exploratory committee, and meanwhile, Democrats have chosen Chicago as their 2024 convention destination. Pundits have said they expect the GOP presidential nomination race to have a crowded field of candidates alongside former President Trump. President Biden has said he is planning a reelection bid but has not made any official announcements on the matter. Fox News Decision Desk Director Arnon Mishkin and Co-Director of the Fox News Poll and professor at UT-Austin Daron Shaw join the Rundown to break down the latest announcements surrounding 2024, the strengths and weaknesses of the candidates in the nomination race, and what a rematch between President Biden and former President Trump would look like.
In response to the mental health crisis America’s youth are facing, many have rightfully pointed towards social media as the main negative factor; however, trauma and abuse are big variables for mental health as well. A CDC survey found that 1 in 5 high school girls is a victim of sexual abuse, and now an online-based type of sexual abuse is increasing at a concerning rate: sextortion. Sextortion occurs when a victim’s explicit or sensitive content is used to blackmail them for money or additional explicit content. Gavin Portnoy, vice president of communications at the Nation Center for Missing and Exploited Children, says this issue has become widespread and needs more awareness. He joins the Rundown to explain why this crime is increasing, how parents can protect their children, and his organization’s new ‘Take It Down’ tool to help victims.
