About this episode
Congress is out of session this week, but the funding deadline is just days away — and a shutdown looks increasingly likely. Jake breaks down the latest dynamics on Capitol Hill, including Trump’s role in the fight, the Senate’s next move and why House Republicans may be giving up their leverage by staying home. Plus: Tens of millions of dollars are pouring into California as the redistricting battle heads to the ballot and the DCCC continues to outpace the NRCC in fundraising. Punchbowl News is on YouTube!
