Summary

President-elect Trump has been vowing to reform the Justice Department, calling out the federal agency as “corrupt, discredited, and politicized.” Democrats have been swift in their critique of Trump, saying the President-elect will only use it to target his opponents. Trump’s plan to depoliticize the organization starts with his pick of Kash Patel to replace FBI Director Wray. Former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker joins the Rundown to explain why change is desperately needed to get the politics out of the Justice Department. Democrats are searching for answers nearly a month after Vice President Kamala Harris lost her bid for the White House. The campaign broke records for fundraising, with estimations saying they spent over $1.5 billion in just over 100 days of campaigning. Despite the influx of campaign cash, the Vice President lost every swing state, prompting strategists and lawmakers to reassess where the campaign could have gone wrong. Managing Editor of Sabato's Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia Center for Politics Kyle Kondik joins the podcast to discuss the Democrats calling out the Harris campaign's spending strategy and which issues were losers for the Party. Plus, commentary from the host of “Tomi Lahren is Fearless on Outkick,” Tomi Lahren. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
