Senator Lee On The Republicans Divide Over Tackling The Debt

Senator Lee On The Republicans Divide Over Tackling The Debt

Republicans in Congress say they are now working to pass President Trump’s ‘big beautiful bill’ by the Fourth of July. The President’s request that Congress slash 20% from the 2026 budget has proved to be a challenge, yet House Speaker Mike Johnson says they are still on track to pass this reconciliation bill out of the House by Memorial Day. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) joins the Rundown to discuss the spending bill deadline, GOP plans for a federal budget that meaningfully reduces the national debt, and how eliminating the penny could save taxpayers millions. During his first week back in office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order no longer requiring federal contractors to uphold affirmative action programs. The decision came less than two years after the Supreme Court ruled that using race in the college admissions process was unconstitutional. Critics say the president's actions are moving the country backward. However, FOX News Contributor and author of the new book The Affirmative Action Myth, Jason Riley, joins to discuss why racial favoritism has done more harm than good.
