About this episode

A government shutdown will begin Sunday if lawmakers on Capitol Hill don’t reach a deal. Sources tell CNN that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy told his Republican conference there aren’t many options left to avoid a shutdown. Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal tells Anderson Cooper if she thinks there’s a realistic scenario where Republicans team up with Democrats in the next 24 hours to keep the government open. Plus, a suspect was arrested for the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur. CNN Senior National Correspondent Sara Sidner joins AC360 after speaking to Shakur’s stepbrother who wants to know what took so long.
