Extra: DOGE and the Challenges of Actually Cutting the Deficit

Elon Musk's embrace of President Trump and his campaign marked a
pivotal moment in the 2024 presidential election. Musk was
eventually appointed to head the newly established Department of
Government Efficiency (DOGE), where he was tasked with cutting
federal spending and reducing the national debt. DOGE moved quickly
and decisively, triggering lawsuits and further enraging Trump’s
critics. Although Musk has since left the Trump administration and
experienced a very public fallout with President Trump, DOGE
continues to operate and make an impact. Matthew Continetti,
Director of Domestic Policy Studies at the American Enterprise
Institute, joined FOX News Rundown host Jessica Rosenthal to
discuss DOGE, highlighting where it was effective in cutting waste,
fraud, and abuse, and where it fell short of the expectations set
by Musk and the administration. Continetti, who is featured in FOX
Nation's new documentary "DOGE vs. DC," also weighs in on the
public spat between Musk and the President, as well as the
challenges politicians face when addressing America’s debt
seriously. We often have to cut interviews short during the week,
but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on
Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with
AEI’s Matthew Continetti on the legacy of DOGE. Learn more about
