The Fox News Rundown

How is Trump's second term going? One year into President Trump’s second term, how much of the "America First" agenda has been realized? From securing the border to strengthening the U.S. economy, the administration’s bold promises are being put to the test. FOX News Contributor and former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove joins the Rundown to analyze the biggest successes of the past year. We dive into the looming challenges for 2026, including the legal battles over new tariffs, the national affordability concerns, and the rising anti-ICE protests across American cities. 

Americans are expected to start feeling the effects of President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” signed into law last summer, as a series of tax changes officially kick in. The legislation includes new relief aimed at the middle class and working Americans, from higher standard deductions to first-ever tax breaks on auto loan interest, Social Security income, tips, and overtime pay. FOX Business’ Gerri Willis joins the Rundown to explain how these updates, along with an extension of earlier tax cuts, could drive consumer spending and shape the broader economic outlook.

President Trump is touting a strong economy while promising new measures to tackle affordability. However, a major part of his agenda could be dealt a blow as an imminent Supreme Court ruling is expected to redefine the president’s tariff authority. If the High Court rules against the administration's reciprocal tariffs, it could mean companies are entitled to billions in refunds.

O’Leary Ventures Chairman Kevin O’Leary joined the Rundown’s Jessica Rosenthal this week to discuss the potential fallout of the ruling, the growing concerns over the cost of living, and why he remains optimistic about the direction of the economy.

O’Leary explained how he would adjust the President’s tariff strategy and shared his advice for Washington on addressing the affordability crisis. The Shark Tank star also discussed why investing in energy infrastructure is vital to growing the U.S. economy and competing with China.
