Congress, White House refusing to compromise on shutdown

Season 2025 Episode 274 | 7m 09s

Attempts to end the government shutdown that began overnight have been unsuccessful. Democrats are refusing to vote without ensuring health care subsidies and Republicans say they won't negotiate until funding is secure. Federal workers are either on the job without pay or temporarily furloughed and President Trump has threatened to make some cuts permanent. Lisa Desjardins and Liz Landers report.
