How long will this decline last?
FOX’s Ryan Schmelz speaks with Colin Reed, co-founder of South & Hill Strategies, who says without a clear leader and alternate policy ideas, Democrats will continue to have a rough political road ahead.

Evening Edition: First 100 Days - Reorganizing The State Department
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced a major overhaul of the State Department, including dissolving offices and positions in the department, aimed at cutting bureaucratic decisions and programs that the administration doesn't agree with.

Secretary Rubio says the changes will greatly empower our diplomats and help them refocus on U.S. interests around the world.

In response, the Trump administration is working to remove federal funding from schools that fail to protect students from dangerous antisemitism on their campuses. FOX News contributor and former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy joins the Rundown to discuss the legal challenges facing Harvard University, as well as the administration's actions.
