Senate Republicans blocked a bill to keep the U.S. government open and also prevent a federal debt default, but the Senate could bring the funding measure up for another vote later this week without a debt-ceiling extension, which isn’t needed until mid-October. Congressional Democrats are also hoping to pass at least part of President Biden’s domestic agenda, which contains more than $4 trillion in spending over two bills. CBS News’ Laura Podesta reports on the developments in Washington, and CBS News congressional reporter Zak Hudak joined “CBSN AM” to discuss.

remember, this raising of the debt ceiling is not for future purchases, but rather to pay off the debt accumulated during the Trump years when the GOP was in charge.
