The World

Today marks the first session of the 111th Congress and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid knows he’s got a full plate of serious issues to handle, and handle quickly.

To mull over these issues with us is Todd Zwillich from Capitol News Connection and our man on the ground in Washington D.C.
