LISTEN: What’s at stake in Georgia if the federal government shuts down

Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) speaking to reporters after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) announced an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden in regard to his role in the business dealings of his son, Hunter Biden, on Capitol Hill in Washington on Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2023. McCarthy directed top congressional Republicans to open the impeachment inquiry into Biden, blowing past G.O.P. divisions as he worked to appease far-right lawmakers, including Greene, who are threatening to oust him amid a pitched fight over spending.
