Why dress code changes are causing strife on Capitol Hill
The Senate is loosening its long-standing dress code requiring business attire, igniting a debate about clothing in the halls of Congress. Sen. John Fetterman, D-Penn., known for wearing shorts and hooded sweatshirts around the Capitol, appreciates the change — but many others do not. Stanford Law School professor Richard Thompson Ford joins Geoff Bennett to discuss the change and what it means.
