Bipartisanship in COVID Relief Talks

Ten Republican senators are meeting with President Biden at the White House Monday to discuss their coronavirus relief proposal — which is just one-third the size of the president's plan.

This episode: political reporter Juana Summers, White House correspondent Tamara Keith, and national political correspondent Mara Liasson.
