They’re on recess, but DHS funding, voting rules and overseas troop support are all waiting when Congress comes back

from The Federal Drive with Terry Gerton

The president’s move to ensure TSA agents continue getting paid may buy time, but it doesn’t resolve the broader standoff or the demands piling up behind it. Loren Duggan of Bloomberg Government joins us with the latest read on where things stand and what’s likely to move—or harden—during the break.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
