January 2, 2024: New year, same business

Though the House and Senate are still on holiday recess, two big pieces
of business from 2023 remain unfinished. Government funding for the new
fiscal year and the $100 billion supplemental for Ukraine, Israel and
Taiwan — a bill that Republicans are demanding be paired with new border
security policies — are likely to dominate the first few weeks on the
Hill. The looming Iowa caucuses, too, Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza
explains, may further complicate things.

An earlier version of this episode misstated the first government
funding deadline this year. It is January 19.
