0:34Now PlayingThe chances of avoiding a government shutdown are "not looking good," The Wall Street Journal's Vivian Salama tells Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic and moderator of Washington Week.
A federal shutdown seems inevitable as members of Congress went home for the weekend without a plan to keep the government funded after Sept. 30.
"[Lawmakers] will not be back until Tuesday ... If by midnight on Oct. 1, the parts of the government that need appropriations bills do not have approval, we're going for a shutdown," Salama said.
Republican infighting, fueled by demands from the hard-right, has prevented attempts to advance most legislation that would keep the government running and added growing pressure for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
If Congress does not pass a funding plan, federal agencies will stop actions deemed non-essential and millions of federal employees will not receive their paychecks.
