Summary

Ever since Donald Trump jumped into the 2016 presidential race, his grip on the GOP has been unshakeable. But with mounting pressure over rising costs and renewed foreign conflicts, that grip may finally be loosening, and a new $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund could be the final straw for some Republicans. FOX News Chief Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins The Rundown to explain what the fund entails, and why it’s triggering such fierce intra-party backlash. Later, Republican Strategist Doug Heye joins FOX News’ Aishah Hasnie to analyze the latest FOX News polling as the primaries heat up, and discuss what's on the mind of voters this Memorial Day Weekend.
