Government moves toward shutdown with Congress in deadlock

Season 2025 Episode 273 | 10m 19s

The federal government is barreling toward a shutdown at the stroke of midnight as Congress remains in a deadlock. Democrats are demanding a bill that reverses cuts to Medicaid and prevents health insurance premiums from going up at the end of the year. President Trump has threatened to use a shutdown to reduce the size of the federal workforce permanently. Lisa Desjardins and Liz Landers report.
