Republicans Aim For Change With Historically Slim House Majority

House Republicans will enter the new Congressional term with a historically low majority, controlling only 220 seats. The party is hopeful that it will be able to pass bold new legislation that President-elect Trump proposed on the campaign trail such as tax cuts, immigration reform, and a cut to government waste. Overseas, the Syrian government has been overthrown as rebel forces took over the capitol city of Damascus, with President Bashar al Assad reportedly fleeing the nation. House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) joins the Rundown to discuss why he is hopeful Republicans can achieve their policy priorities with a slim majority, what issues they will tackle first, and what he thinks of the developing situation in the Middle East.    Over the weekend the United States marked 83 years since the attack on Pearl Harbor, an assault on the country that left over 3,000 Americans killed or wounded.
