In Depth: Sen. Sessions on why he doesn't expect progress from Biden's budget meeting
Big decisions need to be made on Capitol Hill this week, as Vice President Biden resumes budget talks with top lawmakers today.

Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL), member of the budget committee, joins Christine Romans this morning, to discuss balancing the budget and why he is not optimistic about the upcoming Biden talks.
