US Congress LIVE: Trump Govt Shutdown Showdown | Trump Targets Mass Firings in Escalating Standoff
Democrats and Republicans in Washington remain at odds over how to fund the government and avoid a shutdown, which is set to begin, without congressional action. Leaders in Congress met with President Trump at the White House on Monday afternoon, but emerged from the meeting having made little progress. Republicans want to extend current funding levels for seven weeks to avoid a shutdown, but Democrats are seeking an extension of expiring health insurance subsidies.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said there are “very large differences” between the two sides after the meeting. President Trump posted an AI-generated video mocking the Democratic leaders. The Senate plans to bring up a House-passed bill to keep the government funded for another vote on Tuesday, as few avenues to avoid a shutdown appear viable.
