With less than 50 days until election day and candidates preparing, tensions between Israel and Hezbollah are at an all-time high following a series of explosions in Lebanon this week, raising fears that a major Israeli attack on Hezbollah is imminent. These two topics are likely to dominate this Sunday's show.
Former Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan (R) will appear on New Nation's “The Hill Sunday” to discuss the fierce Senate race between incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Trump ally Bernie Moreno. Ohio voters are a key state in the race for control of the Senate, with Brown leading Moreno 48.2% to 45%, according to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ.
Ambassador Wendy Sherman, who served as deputy secretary of state in the Biden administration, will discuss fears of escalating war in Lebanon following Hezbollah attacks and Iranian threats after Israeli police announced Thursday that investigators had thwarted a recent Iranian assassination attempt on NewsNation's “The Hill Sunday.”
CNN's “State of the Union” will feature Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (Democrat), a staunch supporter of Harris and someone who has been mentioned as a possible running mate. The governor has previously criticized Trump on abortion and reproductive rights, so Whitmer is likely to talk about her support for Harris.
NBC's “Meet the Press” will feature Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-Lausanne), who recently voiced support for the Nebraska Republican effort to change the way the state allocates its electoral votes to a winner-take-all system, a move that would favor former President Trump in November.
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pennsylvania), who is scheduled to appear on NBC's “Meet the Press,” made headlines this week when he said he believed former President Trump held a “special” place among Pennsylvania voters, a sentiment reinforced by the July mass shooting at a Trump rally in the state.
Pennsylvania is a key battleground state in the upcoming election, and while recent polls have shown VP Harris tied or leading Trump in Pennsylvania, Fetterman warned that there is real support for Trump in the Keystone State.
House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) will appear on Fox News' “Sunday Morning Futures” with Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), a member of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, to discuss last week's deadly pager and walkie-talkie attacks in Lebanon, as well as the attack on military leaders.
