Summary

President Biden is still commander in chief for about another month, yet it seems like President-elect Donald Trump has already taken over. Yet, Biden did attend the Democratic National Committee's holiday party over the weekend, where he confidently said he believes he has left the country in better shape than when he took office. FOX News Sunday Anchor Shannon Bream joins to discuss how the President-elect is already influencing policy, the fate of TikTok, and the mysterious drones flying over New Jersey. Congress is scrambling to avoid a government shutdown right before the holidays, and President-elect Trump has stirred up another debate on the debt ceiling, which he says should be eliminated. The call to end the debt ceiling has divided the Republican party, with some lawmakers openly opposing the President-elect. Senator James Lankford (R-OK) joins the Rundown to discuss what should be done about the debt ceiling, the fight to secure the Southern border, and what the first 100 days of President-elect Trump's administration will look like. Plus, commentary from the host of “Tomi Lahren is Fearless on Outkick,” Tomi Lahren. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
