Episode description

The Democrats who voted to reopen the government earlier this week have stirred up turmoil within their party, with many on the left viewing it as a betrayal for failing to extend COVID era Affordable Care Act subsidies. Republicans, meanwhile, are up in arms over a last-minute inclusion to the funding package, which would allow senators who allegedly had their phones tapped to sue the federal government for hundreds of thousands of dollars. FOX News Digital Congressional Correspondent Liz Elkind joins the Rundown to unpack the drama on Capitol Hill, and what to look out for as the government gets back to business.

Later, Philip Diehl joins to discuss the future of the penny, after the mint officially ceased its production earlier this week.
