Trump vs. Democrats
Now that President Trump has signed the massive tax overhaul bill, he has plans to keep the momentum going. Next on his agenda: Overhauling our nation's "failing infrastructure." But Democrats say they'll fight him on that. Chip Reid reports.
Political Roundup
President Trump signed the GOP tax bill into law on Friday, after predicting bipartisanship in 2018. CBSN political contributor and national political reporter for Real Clear Politics Caitlin Huey-Burns joined CBSN to break down what we can expect from the White House and lawmakers in the new year.
GOP tax bill final stretch
The Senate approved a historic tax reform bill overnight, 51 to 48, but the House will have to vote on the bill it passed Tuesday. The bill dramatically reshapes the tax code, cutting taxes for corporations and most individuals. It got zero support from Democrats who say the bill doesn't give enough help to average Americans. Nancy Cordes reports.
GOP reaches tax deal
House and Senate Republicans have reached a tax reform compromise, combining the House and Senate bills that would cut taxes by more than $1.4 trillion over a decade. Democrats claim the new version is even more slanted towards the wealthy. Nancy Cordes reports.
Political breakdown
There are mixed responses coming out of the White House from Roy Moore's loss. CBSN political contributor and Associated Press White House reporter Zeke Miller joined CBSN to discuss the White House's reaction and how the Trump administration is trying to pull off a tax reform win by the end of the year.
GOP after Moore
Almost universally, Republicans on Capitol Hill said Roy Moore's loss was a good thing and tha the didn't belong in the Senate. CBS News chief congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes joined CBSN for a closer look at how lawmakers have been reacting to Doug Jones' win in Alabama, and what it means for the GOP agenda heading into 2018.
Doug Jones victory
For the first time in 25 years, Alabama has elected a Democrat as senator. Doug Jones narrowly defeated Republican Roy Moore, who was accused of sexual misconduct with teenage girls. CBS News political director Steve Chaggaris joins CBSN with analysis of how the election played out.

Dan Senor, a longtime Republican analyst and a former adviser to House Speaker Paul Ryan, joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss Republican Roy Moore's loss in the Alabama Senate special election and the future of former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, who campaigned with Moore.
Ala. impact on GOP agenda
Democrat Doug Jones' Alabama Senate victory was a significant setback for President Trump. He will lose a reliable Republican vote in the Senate. A new razor-thin GOP majority, 51 to 49, will make it even harder for Congress to pass Mr. Trump's agenda next year. Nancy Cordes reports.
Ala. senate race
For the first time since 1992, a Democrat has won an Alabama Senate seat. Doug Jones defeated embattled Republican Roy Moore on Tuesday. CBSN's Elaine Quijano and Steve Chaggaris report.
Alabama election
Alabama voters headed to the polls Tuesday for a special election. They're choosing between Republican Roy Moore and Democrat Doug Jones for their next senator. CBS News political director Steve Chaggaris along with CBSN contributors Leslie Sanchez, a Republican strategist, and Lynda Tran, a Democratic strategist, join CBSN to explain what's at stake.
