Summary

Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal, the leader of the progressive caucus, is skeptical that a deal can be struck on the spending bill that will satisfy progressives and said if there is an infrastructure vote tomorrow “we’ll vote it down.” Democratic leaders are struggling to strike a deal among progressives, who have said they won’t vote for the infrastructure bill before striking a deal on a spending package. Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders gives AC360 an update on negotiations. Plus, the search for Gabby Petito’s fiancé Brian Laundrie continues as CNN has learned he bought a cell phone at an AT&T store in North Port, Florida on September 4th. Lenny DePaul is a former commander for the U.S. Marshals Service Regional Fugitive Task Force. He tells Anderson Cooper he’s be “quite shocked” if Laundrie didn’t have a prepaid phone.
