Shutdown Vote Advances as Buddy Carter Talks Health Care and Trump

Hosts Greg Bluestein, Patricia Murphy, and Tia Mitchell discuss the Senate’s procedural vote to advance a deal that could end the record-long government shutdown and what the proposal means for Georgia. They explain why Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock voted against the measure and how both parties are preparing for the political fallout. Then Greg and Tia sit down with Congressman Buddy Carter, a Republican running for U.S. Senate, to get his thoughts on the shutdown negotiations, health care subsidies, and his ongoing effort to win Donald Trump’s endorsement in Georgia’s GOP race.
