House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is seeking support as the GOP aims to pass the "One Big Beautiful Bill," which includes the president's top priorities, such as national defense at the border and spending cuts. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram discusses the urgency of passing this bill, the special elections this past week in Florida, and Senator Cory Booker's (D-NJ) marathon 25-hour speech, the longest in Senate history.

One of the two major issues President Trump ran his campaign on was a promise to secure the U.S. border from migrants--since the start of his second term, he has made that promise a significant part of his agenda.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program—or "SNAP"—is an option for people who need federal financial help to feed their families and buy groceries. In fiscal year 2023, more than 42 million people across the country received SNAP benefits, roughly 12% of Americans. In Texas and several other states, an effort has been made to prevent beneficiaries from using SNAP to purchase unhealthy foods. This movement has only gained momentum since the Trump administration and the new Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. vowed to “Make America Healthy Again.” This week, Gurnal Scott spoke with Texas State Senator Mayes Middleton, who has a bill to prevent people from using SNAP benefits on things like chips, cookies, candy, and soda. He explained these items offer little to no nutritional value and are fueling America’s obesity problem and raising health care costs for all Americans. Middleton also addressed the concerns of critics who worry about denying Americans choices on how to feed their families. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Texas State Senator Mayes Middleton and get even more of his take on how reforming the SNAP program can make Americans healthier and save taxpayers money.
