Republicans Aim For Change With Historically Slim House Majority

House Republicans will enter the new Congressional term with a

historically low majority, controlling only 220 seats. The party is hopeful

that it will be able to pass bold new legislation that President-elect Trump

proposed on the campaign trail such as tax cuts, immigration reform, and a cut

to government waste. Overseas, the Syrian government has been overthrown as

rebel forces took over the capitol city of Damascus, with President Bashar al

Assad reportedly fleeing the nation. House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) joins

the Rundown to discuss why he is hopeful Republicans can achieve their policy

priorities with a slim majority, what issues they will tackle first, and what

he thinks of the developing situation in the Middle East. 

 

Over the weekend the United States marked 83 years since the

Americans killed or wounded. While December is a time of giving, it is also a

time of faith and reflection. In her new book Under His Wings, FOX News’ Emily

Compagno shares first-hand accounts of how faith impacted those on the

frontlines. Co-host of Outnumbered, and host of The FOX True Crime Podcast with

Emily Compagno, Emily Compagno joins the Rundown to discuss her new book, and what

inspired her to share these stories.
