President-elect Trump continues to announce members of his potential Cabinet this week, however the Senate has a unique role in confirming people for these roles as well as hundreds of other positions within the executive branch. Senator John Thune (R-SD) will succeed Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in the Republican majority. FOX News Sunday Anchor and host of the Living the Bream podcast, Shannon Bream, joins the Rundown to discuss the upcoming confirmations and the future of the Democratic party.

As President-Elect Trump prepares to take the helm behind the Resolute desk, one thing that he has said will be on the chopping block is electric vehicle mandates. On the campaign trail, he promised to cut government mandates on the production of EVs and to cut regulations on the auto industry. How could these sweeping changes impact the future of electric vehicles? FOX Business Contributor and author of the The Phil Flynn Energy Report, Phil Flynn joins to discuss why he believes cutting mandates will be beneficial to the EV industry and what the auto industry will look like under the Trump administration.
