Fox's Chad Pergram joins Annie to expose the lame-duck Congress and a looming government shutdown.
The balance of power in Washington is shifting, and the lame-duck session is about to get undeniably chaotic. Fox News Chief Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins The Annie Frey Show to break down what happens before Democrats take their sizable majority in January. With a December 11th funding deadline and attendance issues from outgoing lawmakers, Washington is on a collision course. Chad explains why a shutdown could happen immediately, and how moderates might be the only roadblock preventing the progressive wing from upending the Senate rules.
Key Takeaways from Chad Pergram:
• Lame-Duck Shutdown Threat: Why funding the government by December 11th is a hurdle, and how defeated Republicans skipping town could derail votes.
• Filibuster Realities: Why nuking the filibuster isn't a guaranteed slam dunk, thanks to newly elected swing-district Democrats.
• GOP Strategy: The lack of alignment on whether to pass a short-term funding measure or force a long-term fight.
