Government shutdown averted as Senate sends funding bill to Biden for signature

The Senate easily passed a stopgap funding bill late Wednesday night, averting a government shutdown and punting a spending fight in Congress until early next year. The bill heads to President Biden's desk after it passed the Senate in an 87-11 vote. Only one Democratic senator voted against the measure, Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado. CBS News congressional correspondent Nikole Killion has more on that and a clash between protesters and police outside the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee.
