WASHINGTON, DC - SEPTEMBER 20: The sun rises behind the United States Capitol on Wednesday September 20, 2023 in Washington, DC. Lawmakers are negotiating in order to prevent a government shutdown.

There’s a deadline looming. Congress has to pass a spending package – or at least an emergency one – by the end of the federal fiscal year, which is this Friday.

Could a fight among Republicans in the U.S. House cause the government to shut down? How could that trickle down to º£½Ç»»ÆÞ?

This hour, we look at a fractured federal government. Plus, we give you the latest on what's going on in Bridgeport. Could another election be in question over absentee ballots?
