With Congress officially adjourning ahead of the midterm elections, lawmakers have returned to their home districts to campaign, leaving behind a heavy to-do list for the upcoming lame-duck session. FOX News Chief Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins The Rundown to recap what did and did not get accomplished before Capitol Hill went quiet, and how wedge issues like AI and affordability are playing into member’s midterm campaign strategies. Later, technology futurist and author of The AI Ten Commandments Jamie Metzl takes a look at the Trump administration's new voluntary agreement with tech leaders for AI companies to self-police as public concern over the technology rises.  PHOTO CREDIT: ASSOCIATED PRESS Learn more about your ad choices.
