Summary

With former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley announcing her candidacy for the presidency, she is the first Republican primary challenger to former President Donald Trump. The former South Carolina Governor laid out her case for the White House in her announcement, citing her strong national security credentials, proposing Congressional term limits, and a cognitive test for politicians over the age of 75. Co-founder and President of RealClearPolitics Tom Bevan joins to discuss what the presidential hopeful needs to do to gain traction in the race, how she can separate herself from former President Trump, and how she shapes up against other potential candidates. Three unidentified flying objects have been shot down since the Chinese spy balloon was intercepted off the coast of South Carolina. While more has been learned about the balloon sent from China, many questions still remain about the other three objects. In addition to national security threats at hand, Congress is also inching closer to the deadline to increase the debt ceiling. FOX News Channel Congressional Correspondent Aishah Hasnie and Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram discuss the week that was on Capitol Hill. Learn more about your ad choices.
