Summary

The House of Representatives voted Wednesday to send the articles of impeachment against President Trump to the Senate paving the way for the long awaited and historic Senate trial after weeks of delay. 2020 Democratic candidate Tom Steyer weighs in on impeachment, the upcoming Iowa Caucuses and New Hampshire primary, his surge in a recent Fox News poll and how he plans to take on the president by using the economy against him. Last week¸ Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) shocked many when he sided with House Democrats by voting in favor of the War Powers Resolution. The measure was seen as a rebuke to President Trump and a way to restrict his authority to strike Iran without congressional approval. Rep. Gaetz, who is one of the President's biggest supporters in the House, joins the Rundown to explain why he made the controversial decision to split with the White House. Plus, commentary by Jimmy Failla, head writer for "Kennedy" on FOX Business. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
