House Democratic leaders are urging their GOP counterparts to come to the table and advance a bipartisan continuing resolution, warning that inaction will result in a 'catastrophic' shutdown that will leave millions of government workers without paychecks and deal a hit to the national economy.
House Democratic leaders are urging their GOP counterparts to come to the table and advance a bipartisan continuing resolution, warning that inaction will result in a"catastrophic" shutdown that will leave millions of government workers without paychecks and deal a hit to the national economy.
Lawmakers voted 198-232 to advance the $1.471 trillion legislation, falling short of the majority vote needed to send the bill over to the Senate. The failure deals a major blow to GOP leadership, making it all the more likely Congress won’t come to an agreement on spending legislation just two days before the government is set to shut down.
Jeffries said House Democrats are"prepared" to work with Republicans on any bipartisan measure, noting that all options are on the table. Some lawmakers, such as Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick , said the failed vote should signal to GOP leadership they must advance a bipartisan agreement in order to avert or end a government shutdown, noting a handful of Republicans are considering working with Democrats in order to do so.
