Summary

Earlier this week, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley received a noteworthy endorsement from New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu (R-NH) just weeks before the state's GOP primary. However, former President Donald Trump continues to dominate the polls in Iowa and The Granite State, questioning how much a governor's endorsement matters. Governor Sununu weighs in on why he decided to endorse Haley and why he insists his state's primary will be first despite the Democratic National Committee trying to change the rules. Congress had a busy week, as tempers flared over negotiations for funding for Ukraine aid and border security. The President’s son Hunter Biden also made an appearance on the Senate side of Congress, avoiding a House subpoena as they investigate his overseas business deals. FOX News Congressional Correspondent Aishah Hasnie joins FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram as they recap the week on Capitol Hill, explain what legal action Congress can take against Hunter Biden, and share details on the ongoing negotiations to fund the government.
