Description
After a last-minute snag and an all-nighter on Capitol Hill, the Senate has passed President Biden's $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, sending it back to the House for final approval. It's one of the biggest pieces of legislation in U.S. history. Plus, California Senator Alex Padilla urges his Democratic colleagues to join him in supporting to end the filibuster. He says that will ensure their slim majority can pass legislation to fight climate change and expand voting rights.

On today's show: Politico's Rachael Bade and Michael Shear of the New York Times, former Baltimore Health Commissioner Dr. Leanna Wen, Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA); Republican Strategist Alice Stewart and Democratic Strategist Maria Cardona; "Judas and the Black Messiah" Director Shaka King and actor Daniel Kaluuya.   To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy
