CNN Town Hall

Jake Tapper and Kaitlan Collins moderate a live CNN Town Hall with U.S. Representatives Mike Lawler, Ryan Mackenzie, Jahana Hayes, and Derek Tran.

As the government shutdown stretches into its second week, millions of Americans have been furloughed and are wondering when and if they'll get their paychecks. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) will take questions from a live studio audience and Collins on the Democratic strategy and a pathway toward resolution. The studio audience will be comprised of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents, including people who have been directly affected by the shutdown.

This Town Hall is live from Washington, DC, moderated by CNN Anchor and Chief White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins.

Amid tensions following the two fatal shootings of U.S. citizens Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis by federal immigration officials and weeks-long protests, officials and community leaders, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, take questions and discuss possible pathways forward with local community members and impacted Minnesotans. Minnesotans from across the political spectrum comprise the live audience gathered in a community center in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
