Congressional leaders reach the weekend just barely avoiding a government shutdown. The near-crisis came because a few GOP senators insisted on a vote to halt vaccine mandates as a condition of allowing government funding to continue -- even though Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell wanted a different strategy.
