Sen. Joe Manchin, Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Rep. Tony Gonzales, Rep. French Hill 

This week on Face the Nation, Congress narrowly avoids a government shutdown ahead of the holidays – but what does the brinkmanship and chaos signal for the next two years?   We’ll check in with two House members – Arkansas Congressman French Hill, who voted for the spending bill, and Texas Congressman Tony Gonzales, who voted against it.  Then our exit interview with Homeland Security Chief Alejandro Mayorkas. He was the face of the Biden border policy, taking the brunt of Republican criticism. He offers his advice for the incoming administration.  And we’ll hear from outgoing West Virginia Independent Senator Joe Manchin – on his assessment of the Democratic Party he left behind, and his relationship with the president-elect.  Finally, after the coup in Syria earlier this month, we’ll have an inside look at the effort to locate and return the missing Americans once held hostage by the fallen Assad regime.
