The tenuous balance of power in the Senate

Democrats are down a crucial vote in the Senate after New Mexico Sen. Ben Ray Luján suffered a stroke. While the 49-year old senator is expected to make a full recovery, his absence means a shift in the balance of power in the Senate. For now, Republicans have a 50-49 working majority until Luján's return in 4 to 6 weeks. Plus, hundreds of thousands of U.S. bridges are in need of major repair. And, how Americans really feel about the 2022 Winter Olympics. Guests: Axios' Margaret Talev, Jennifer Kingson and David Nather.
