## Resource

A chaotic week on Capitol Hill leaves critical national security funding in limbo and puts Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s leadership to the test. Ahead of Tuesday's highly controversial Maine Democratic Senate primary, Senator Schumer is facing intense pressure to address the growing rift between Democrats over Senate candidate Graham Plattner's mounting scandals that threaten the party. FOX News Chief Congressional correspondent Chad Pergram joins the Rundown to break down how the Democrats are navigating these fractures, alongside a wild week of broader Washington gridlock.Later, Partner at Ballard Partners and former press secretary to Jill Biden and special assistant to the president Michael LaRosa, joins the podcast to discuss how former First Lady Jill Biden’s new memoir, "View from the East Wing," has reopened Democrat's wounds.
