On Capitol Hill, partial government shutdown all but guaranteed

On Capitol Hill, lawmakers are now expecting a partial government shutdown to take effect at midnight, after it became clear that Senate Republicans didn't have the votes to pass a funding bill the House approved. Yamiche Alcindor and Lisa Desjardins join Judy Woodruff to discuss ongoing negotiations, the president's motives, why Democratic confidence is rising and what a shutdown would mean.
