Government shutdown appears unavoidable

Season 2025 Episode 272 | 5m 58s

A federal government shutdown in less than a day and a half appears unavoidable after a meeting between President Trump and congressional leaders from both sides of the aisle failed to produce a deal. White House correspondent Liz Landers and congressional correspondent Lisa Desjardins report on the impasse.
