New book 'The Aftermath' examines the political influence and legacy of the baby boomers

The impact of the baby boom generation is impossible to ignore. The roughly 76 million people born between 1946 and 1964 have reshaped American society at each stage of their lives. Philip Bump of The Washington Post takes a closer look at the generation’s impact in "The Aftermath: The Last Days of the Baby Boom and the Future of Power in America." Bump joined Geoff Bennett to discuss the book.
