Summary

With the threat of a government shutdown hanging heavy in the air, tensions are even higher than usual on a divided Capitol Hill. In moments like this, when bipartisanship feels lost in the mix, lawmakers remember their former colleague Senator Joe Lieberman, whose dedication to finding common ground inspired many during his lifetime and continues to a year after his passing. Today, former Senator John Breaux (D-LA) and Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) honor the life and legacy of the former Senator and their dear friend and discuss how they're trying to take a page out of his book when it comes to repairing the deep split dividing both parties.
