With the deadline to fund the government, congressional negotiators agree on the framework of the bill

Congressional negotiators said they have agreed on the framework for a government funding bill. Congress has until Friday to avoid a partial government shutdown, but lawmakers are expected to approve a one-week extension to give them more time to work on the final bill. In addition to billions in funding, the bill could also include a way to change the electoral vote counting process. CBS News Congressional Correspondent Scott MacFarlane gave an update on the negotiations and discussed new remarks from Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Democrat of Minnesota, about why she and her colleagues are pushing for electoral change.
