A New Era In Washington

Tomorrow, Republican Senators will determine who will lead them
when the GOP becomes the majority party in January. The three
contenders are Senators John Thune from South Dakota, John Cornyn
from Texas, and Rick Scott from Florida. President-elect Trump has
yet to reveal his preferred candidate, with many hoping he will
keep from influencing this contest. Senator John Thune (R-SD) joins
the Rundown to discuss his candidacy for Senate Majority Leader and
what he thinks his party can accomplish after all its success in
last week's election. Last week, federal prosecutors announced
charges in a thwarted plot from the Iranian government to
assassinate Donald Trump before Election Day. The IRGC is denying
these charges; however, many in the intelligence community can
confirm that Iran’s targeting of the President-elect and those in
his administration has been a problem since 2020. So how will
President-elect Trump deal with Iran when he takes office? Former
State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus explains the Iranian
government's longstanding hostilities towards Trump and how a Trump
White House would come down harder on Iran by enforcing sanctions.
