Why Congress is at an impasse over DHS funding and other critical bills
About this episode
House Republicans face challenges in advancing key legislation amid internal divisions.
After weeks of internal clashes, House Republicans are struggling to move forward on four major pieces of legislation. Those include extending U.S. surveillance authorities, ending the Department of Homeland Security shutdown and advancing key farm policy — all while managing deep divisions within their own conference. Congressional correspondent Lisa Desjardins has more on where things stand. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy
