Summary

President Donald Trump’s first 100 days are nearing their end, and Democrats are still divided on how best to respond to the White House’s fast-paced style of government management. The party is openly feuding over whether it should go more left, move to the center, abandon identity politics, or fight even harder for groups it thinks need to be fought for. FOX News Rundown host Chris Foster discussed this with Martha MacCallum the other day. The Anchor and Executive Editor of “The Story with Martha MacCallum” and the host of the Untold Story podcast discussed how the Democrats have picked up some questionable causes since President Trump took office and weighed in on the emergence of New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a party leader. MaCallum also discussed the start of President Trump’s second term, his biggest accomplishments, and what issues will be key to the Republicans' success in the 2026 and 2028 elections. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with FOX NEWS’ Martha MacCallum and get even more of her take on the Democrats’ disarray and the President’s first 100 days.
