Democrats celebrated the passage of their climate, health and tax package, but debate over the partisan measure now moves to the campaign trail. CQ Roll Call’s David Lerman, Laura Weiss and Paul M.

They also discuss the upcoming fight over a stopgap funding measure to ward off a partial government shutdown.
