Summary

Tomorrow, Republican Senators will determine who will lead them when the GOP becomes the majority party in January. The three contenders are Senators John Thune from South Dakota, John Cornyn from Texas, and Rick Scott from Florida. President-elect Trump has yet to reveal his preferred candidate, with many hoping he will keep from influencing this contest. Senator John Thune (R-SD) joins the Rundown to discuss his candidacy for Senate Majority Leader and what he thinks his party can accomplish after all its success in last week's election. Last week, federal prosecutors announced charges in a thwarted plot from the Iranian government to assassinate Donald Trump before Election Day. The IRGC is denying these charges; however, many in the intelligence community can confirm that Iran’s targeting of the President-elect and those in his administration has been a problem since 2020. So how will President-elect Trump deal with Iran when he takes office? Former State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus explains the Iranian government's longstanding hostilities towards Trump and how a Trump White House would come down harder on Iran by enforcing sanctions. Plus, commentary by columnist David Marcus. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
