Summary

Republican presidential hopefuls spent most of 2023 campaigning across the United States. However, as many threw in the towel and withdrew by the end of the year, one thing stayed consistent: former President Donald Trump remains the GOP frontrunner. He heads into 2024 with 91 felony counts against him, legal woes that have yet to impact his broad voter support. Director of the FOX News Decision Desk, Arnon Mishkin, shares the most notable moments from the race so far and discusses the impact of Democrats’ decision to change their primary calendar. Despite President Biden touting his Bidenomics agenda throughout the year, poll numbers have consistently shown that the average American believes the economy is not doing well. High cost of living remains a heavy burden for many families, and the White House hoped that their push for a student loan forgiveness plan would soften the blow. Jared Bernstein, the chair of the Biden administration's Council of Economic Advisers, joined in January to discuss the high cost of higher education and the tools Congress has available to combat the price.

0:00.0	Sunday, December 31st, 2023, I'm Jessica Rosenthal. A couple of things stayed pretty consistent
0:10.0	throughout 2023. It appears the Democratic Party is sticking with President
0:13.4	Biden and the polls ranking the 2024 Republican presidential candidates
0:17.8	had one man at the top. And what's interesting is how Donald Trump spent

0:31.4	I'm Jared Halpern.
0:32.4	Biden is the pitch President Biden is making the voters as he contends with
0:36.9	poor polling on the economy and inflation. We look back at the year that was for the
0:42.3	administration's domestic agenda.
0:44.4	Economy wide, we've had about six percentage points of disinflation.
0:48.4	Inflation peaked a little bit above 9% last seen at the 3.2%.
0:53.2	So that's a 65% decline in the rate of inflation.
0:57.2	This is the Fox News rundown from Washington. It was a big field and a deep bench at first. The number of Republican candidates
1:16.4	for president began growing in the late spring of this past year. Former
1:20.7	President Trump announced his run in 2022, but former South Carolina
1:24.3	Governor Nicky Haley then announced in February. For a strong America, for a proud
1:30.9	America, I am running for president of the United States of America.
1:37.0	Former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, Talksha Host Larry Elder,
