Let The Confirmation Hearings Begin

Confirmation hearings begin today for President-elect Donald
Trump's cabinet. With only six days until Inauguration Day,
lawmakers are hopeful some nominations will be confirmed before
then. Trump's pick for Secretary of Defense, former FOX News host
Pete Hegseth, is kicking off the week of hearings and is expected
to receive pushback from Senate Democrats. Senator Roger Marshall
(R-KS) joins the Rundown to share his optimism about confirming the
President-elect’s cabinet nominees and the GOP's policy agenda.
President Biden addressed the nation on Tuesday, touting his
foreign policy achievements, from ending the United States'
involvement in Afghanistan to strengthening alliances in the South
Pacific. Critics have come out against the claims, pointing out the
loss of life during the withdrawal from Afghanistan and the
escalation of conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine. Former
deputy national security advisor to President Trump and Vice
President of the Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy
at The Heritage Foundation, Victoria Coates, joins the Rundown to
take a look back at the Biden administration's foreign policy
initiatives, how they impacted the Middle East, and what lasting
effect the policies will have on the globe. Plus, commentary from
host of The Will Cain Show, Will Cain. Photo Credit: AP Learn more
