9:31Now PlayingDemocrats face a new challenge in the coming weeks after Senator Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico suffered a stroke.
He's not expected to return to Washington until next month, which means Democrats will have to shift focus to gain bipartisan support if they plan to pass any legislation.
Senator Luján's absence on Capitol Hill exposes the very slim majority Democrats hold in the senate.
They lack the votes to pass any legislation without Republican support, delivering a setback for the Biden administration's spending plan.
BNC's Rarione Maniece joins Kelly Wright and Nayyera Haq live on "The World Tonight" from Capitol Hill with more.
