Government shutdown temporarily avoided

President Biden signed legislation to temporarily avoid a government shutdown. The U.S. government is now funded through December 3. This comes as the Democrats remain divided over the $1 trillion infrastructure bill. Meanwhile, California Governor Gavin Newsom implemented a first-of-its-kind vaccine mandate for students. CBS News chief foreign affairs correspondent and moderator of "Face the Nation" Margaret Brennan joined CBSN's Lana Zak to discuss this week's episode.

Congress hoping to pass temporary funding bill

Congress is hoping to hold a final vote on a bill to fund the government Thursday. It would temporarily prevent federal agencies from shutting down but would not address the need to extend the government's ability to borrow money. CBS News' Skyler Henry, Politico's national political correspondent Meridith McGraw and The Washington Post's national political reporter Eugene Scott join CBSN's "Red & Blue" anchor Elaine Quijano with more on the debt ceiling battle and how the White House is trying to save President Biden's domestic agenda.

Biden's agenda hangs on Democratic unity
