About this episode
The 2024 election is likely decided by a handful of states. Since 1996, Georgia has gone red in America’s presidential elections, but that changed in 2020 when President Biden narrowly won the state by 0.2 percent of the vote. Now in the 2024 race, most pundits consider Georgia to be a crucial swing state. With a little over a month until the election, seven states have become the campaign’s primary battlegrounds. Co-anchor of America's Newsroom, Bill Hemmer joins the Rundown to break down the latest numbers from the Peach state and what the candidates must do to win over voters. Two months ago, a software bug in a system update from the cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike caused issues around the nation. It resulted in the grounding of thousands of flights, emergency services outages and internet blackouts. CrowdStrike Vice President Adam Meyers testified before the House Homeland Security Subcommittee about the widespread outages, and what steps they have taken to ensure this is prevented in the future. CEO of Applied AI, John Cofrancesco joins the podcast to discuss his takeaways from the CrowdStrike hearing, what steps must be taken to avoid further outages, and the possibility of a foreign actor hacking into American security systems. Plus, commentary from FOX News contributor Joe Concha. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
