Summary

Former President Donald Trump continues to dominate the polls into the new year. The Iowa caucus is just weeks away, with Trump poised to win the first Republican contest of the election cycle. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley are vying for second place as their polling numbers continue to narrow. On the Rundown, Daron Shaw, professor of government at the University of Texas-Austin, member of the FOX News National Decision team, and the bipartisan FOX News polling group discusses what's in store for the GOP candidates heading into the election year. The past year presented Americans with a housing market at a standstill, with a lagging economy and the Fed’s rising interest rates hurting the real estate sector severely. Yet, good news may be on the horizon. The Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell, suggested that with inflation falling faster than anticipated, the Fed’s rate hikes are likely over. Chief Economist at the National Association of Home Builders, Robert Dietz, joins the podcast to break down this good news, why so many expect the housing market to bounce back in 2024, and how the real estate and home building industry is preparing. Plus, commentary by Fox News contributor Liz Peek. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
