Description

Any possible optimism that lawmakers would reach a deal this weekend to end the longest government shutdown on record has faded. The Senate held its first Saturday session since the shutdown began, but no votes were scheduled. John Yang speaks with former FAA administrator Randy Babbitt and Supreme Court analyst Amy Howe about two widespread effects of the shutdown: air travel and SNAP benefits.
