Summary

President-Elect Trump visited the White House Wednesday to meet with President Biden in a two-hour meeting discussing the transition of power and policy issues. Throughout the day the President-Elect shared more cabinet picks including Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz for Attorney General, former Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence, and Florida Senator Marco Rubio for Secretary of State. On Capitol Hill, with a newly minted Senate majority, Republicans selected South Dakota Senator John Thune as the new Majority Leader. FOX News Contributor and former White House Press Secretary for George W. Bush, Ari Fleischer, joins the Rundown to discuss the latest cabinet selections, what signal they send to the status quo in Washington D.C., and what the Senate will look like with Majority Leader Thune in charge. On Tuesday evening, President-elect Donald Trump appointed tech billionaire Elon Musk and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to head a new initiative called the Department of Government Efficiency, or "DOGE." The goal of this department is to reduce government waste and regulation. Mitch Daniels, co-chair of the Committee For a Responsible Federal Budget, will discuss areas where the government is misallocating funds, the national debt, and what this department might entail. Plus, commentary from FOX News Legal Analyst Gregg Jarrett. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
