Jared Halpern: 弗吉尼亚州的州长选举将是衡量选民对政府效率部门削减和特朗普政府行政行动的民意的第一个真正考验。弗吉尼亚州是许多联邦雇员的家园，他们中的一些人可能会受到DOGE削减政府开支努力的影响。 Ryan Schmelz: 参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默为保持政府运转而采取的行动，导致民主党内部出现分裂，引发了人们对谁最适合领导该党对抗特朗普议程的质疑。 Winsome Earle-Sears: 弗吉尼亚州经济强劲，就业机会充足，并为失业者提供经济援助。同时，我们也认识到控制债务的必要性，并对联邦政府的削减措施表示理解。虽然我们同情那些失去工作的人，但我们必须记住，美国正面临着巨大的债务问题。在教育方面，我们支持家长在教育子女方面拥有更多选择权，并为选择不去公立学校的家庭提供资源。 Chad Pergram: 民主党人对政府普遍不满，他们对共和党人的不满在于，虽然他们喜欢削减的理论，但当谈到具体的削减时，他们并不喜欢。舒默与共和党合作避免政府停摆的决定，在民主党内引发了争议。此外，佛罗里达州共和党众议员安娜·保利娜·卢娜与一些民主党人合作，推动一项决议，允许国会的新父母远程投票。共和党人面临着如何为一项大型法案提供资金的挑战，这涉及到税收政策和预算规则的辩论。

Virginia’s 2025 governor's race will be the first real test of public sentiment on the Department of Government Efficiency's cuts and the flurry of executive actions under the Trump administration. Virginia is home to many federal employees, some of whom may see their jobs impacted by DOGE's effort to cut government waste. Virginia's Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears is currently the leading Republican in the governor's race, and she joins to discuss how DOGE could impact the race, her vision for the state, as well as hints about how she would campaign in a state that President Trump narrowly lost. 

 

Several Democratic lawmakers have expressed their opposition to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who outraged many in his party last week when he led the charge to to break the filibuster and helped the House Republicans’ continuing resolution, or CR, advance. The move prevented a partial government shutdown. Despite facing pushback from his constituents, Senator Schumer has consistently defended his decision, claiming a shutdown would have been disastrous for Democrats and the country. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins to discuss Schumer's choice and other debates in Congress, including the push to permit proxy voting for some members.
