The federal government could have received money next week, which increased the possibility of switching off because the Democrats of the Senate face pressure to reach voices. The Republicans promoted the short -term financing law, but the distance over medical and Medicaid cuts caused the legislators to try with the approaching date of 30 September.
On Friday, the Chamber of Deputies approved the Republican short -term measure to be financed by November. However, the bill failed in the Senate, where a threshold value of 60 voice sources is required for passage.
The head of the Senate minority Chuck Schumer and the leader of the House House Hake Jeffries sent President Donald Trump on the weekend to demand a meeting to avoid shutdown.
“Republican congress leaders with their direction repeatedly and publicly refused to involve in Bipartisan negotiations to open the government,” the Democrats wrote two New York.
Democrats are pushing for health care protection
The core of the democratic design focuses on the protection of health care programs. The plan is trying to:
- Reverse cuts Medicaid
- Expand subsidies to increased health insurance
“The Democrats were clear and consistent in our position. We are ready to work on the Bipartisan Agreement on spending that improves the lives of American families and solves the Republican health crisis,” Schumer and Jeffries said.
Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman was the only democrat to vote for the Republican law in the house and emphasized the division inside the party.
Trump signals conditional openness
President Trump talked to reporters on Saturday, indicated a potential meeting, but remained negative: “I would like to meet them, but I don’t think it will have any impact,” he said.
Trump also warned that the government could be closed, although basic payments such as social security and the army will continue.
Partizan standoff and political guilt
House Speaker Mike Johnson and the leader of most of the Senate John Thune introduced short -term financing as a standard stop. Republicans insist that any shutdown will be the responsibility of the Democrats and claims that the party refuses to compromise the cuts of Medicaid.
“With the rapid approaching term of 30. September, Republicans will be responsible for further painful government weaning to refuse the GOP Congress management even to talk to Democrats,” Schumer and Jeffries faced.
Counting
The legislators return on Monday (September 29) after the break of Rosh Hasanah and leave just during the day to reach the agreements before the deadline. If there is no agreement, the government faces its first shutdown from Trump’s Presidency, which occurred in 2018–2019 monthly closure.
The coming days are expected to see increased negotiations because both parties will consider the political and economic costs of potential weaning, while the financing of health care remains on Wednesday’s debate.
