As eighteen Americans are evacuated from a hantavirus-affected cruise ship and placed under observation at specialized facilities in the U.S., experts are evaluating the transmission risks associated with this specific outbreak. Three passengers have died following the outbreak, which originated on the MV Hondius after it departed Argentina. Former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield joins the Rundown to explain the science behind the Andes variant, a specific strain known for rare human-to-human transmission, and the history of the virus.

As Democrats ramp up their push to redraw congressional maps ahead of the 2026 midterms, a pair of major court rulings are reshaping the fight over redistricting and political power. Virginia Democrats are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to step in after the state’s highest court struck down a new congressional map, while another Supreme Court decision out of Louisiana is fueling a broader debate over race, representation, and voting rights. FOX News Contributor and former Deputy Chief of Staff to President George W. Bush, Karl Rove joins the Rundown to discuss why both parties see these legal battles as critical to the road to the 2026 elections and what Democrats’ next moves could look like.
