Democrats Blame Trump for Imminent Government Shutdown
Tap title to read story
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries accused President Trump and Republicans of "marching the country" toward a government shutdown due to their refusal to fund healthcare. With a deadline looming and Republican leaders canceling voting sessions and Trump canceling a meeting, Jeffries urged Trump to show leadership. Republicans claim Democrats' demands are a "nonstarter," while Democrats aim to protect healthcare subsidies. If a shutdown occurs, federal agencies are preparing for mass firings, not just furloughs.
