Government Shutdown? Trump's Dare: Will Democrats Cave?
Tap title to read story
President Trump is refusing to compromise with Democrats on a government funding bill, risking a shutdown. He's rejecting Democratic demands to reverse healthcare cuts and reinstate funding he's unilaterally cancelled. The White House insists on maintaining Trump's power to unilaterally withdraw funds, a move criticized by some Republicans as illegal. Democrats, emboldened after Trump's actions, are prepared for a fight and won't back down, potentially leading to a government shutdown by the end of September. Negotiations have yet to begin, but both sides are dug in, highlighting the potential for a major political crisis.
