10:49Now PlayingThe 116th Congress made history Thursday, swearing in the most diverse group of lawmakers ever and more than 100 women in the House, including the first two Native American women, the first two Latina women from Texas and the first two Muslim women. The firstever AfricanAmerican women congressmembers from Connecticut and Massachusetts were sworn in, as was Colorado’s firstever AfricanAmerican member of Congress. The firstever and now second female House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, and House Democrats sought to end the government shutdown as their first order of business, passing a package of spending bills that would reopen the federal government without meeting Trump’s demand for $5 billion for expanding the wall on the U.S.Mexico border. We speak with California Rep. Judy Chu.
