Tia Mitchell and Patricia Murphy talk with Andrew Desiderio, a senior congressional reporter for Punchbowl News, about the negotiations in Washington to avoid a partial government shutdown. On Tuesday, the U.S. House passed legislation to avert a partial government shutdown and fund federal agencies through September.

Meanwhile, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens has launched his reelection bid.
