Summary

Next month Georgia will hold two runoff elections that will decide which party controls the Senate. While those races determine Senate control, Democrats will remain in power of the House, but with a slimmer majority than before. One of the new Republicans coming to Congress is one of the youngest in history. 25-year old Congressman-elect Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) joins today's FOX News Rundown to discuss why he ran for Congress. He also weighs in on getting a coronavirus relief bill passed to help Americans, what he thinks of COVID restrictions, cancel culture and more. America was dealing with a student loan crisis well before it was dealing with coronavirus. However, the pandemic and its devastating impact on the economy has only exacerbated the problem. Some Democrats have been calling for loan forgiveness, but critics say this will be costly and would be unfair to those who didn't borrow big bucks to go to school. FOX Business correspondent Kristina Partsinevelos discusses the debate over whether Washington should offer some relief, what that could mean for the economy and why Covid-19 has put high tuition costs under the microscope once again. Plus, commentary by Guy Benson, host of "The Guy Benson Show." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
