The Fox News Rundown

Dr. Anthony Fauci’s explosive appearance on Capitol Hill is still reverberating in Washington after he repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right during questioning about COVID-19. Now, some Senate Republicans are considering holding Fauci in contempt of Congress as Democrats push back. Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall, also a physician, joins the Rundown to weigh in on the fallout and the lingering questions surrounding the pandemic. Plus, with the August recess approaching, Senator Marshall discusses what Congress still needs to accomplish and the issues he’s hearing about from voters back home.

As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes industries, medicine is emerging as one of its fastest-growing frontiers. Dr. Peter Najjar of Johns Hopkins Health System joins the Rundown to explain how AI is already helping doctors reduce administrative burdens, improve patient care, and could one day transform the way diseases like cancer are diagnosed and treated.

PLUS, commentary by Ronna McDaniel, CEO of the Michigan Forward Network and the former chair of the Republican National Committee.
