On today’s edition of The Scott Jennings Show, Scott broadcasts from North Carolina with a packed look at the political and policy battles shaping the midterms, beginning with the closely watched South Carolina Republican Senate runoff between Darlene Graham and Rep. Ralph Norman, the tightening North Carolina Senate race, the escalating U.S.-Canada trade dispute, and the latest developments involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. New York Post financial correspondent Lydia Moynihan joins Scott to discuss the growing backlash against AI data centers and why she believes the infrastructure is critical to jobs, economic growth, and America’s competition with China, while Republican congressional candidate Laurie Buckhout previews her rematch with Rep. Don Davis in North Carolina’s 1st District. In Hour Two, Rep. Rich McCormick weighs in on election integrity, immigration, birth tourism, Iran, and the Republican agenda heading into November; Free Press reporter Olivia Reingold discusses new data fueling debate over previous famine declarations in Gaza; and former Seattle Times columnist Matt Calkins explains why he left the newspaper following a dispute over an unpublished column about transgender participation in women’s sports. Scott closes with more from Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed’s contentious Fox News interview on ICE, energy policy, federal spending, and Sharia law.
