President Donald Trump is making it clear he had no intention to negotiate on Democrats’ current terms to avoid a government shutdown. Democrats are again insisting on action to extend health care benefits ahead of a meeting with Trump aimed at avoiding a government shutdown. If government funding legislation is not passed by Congress and signed by Trump on Tuesday night, many government offices will be temporarily shuttered and nonexempt federal employees will be furloughed. Republicans are daring Democrats to vote against legislation that would keep government funding mostly at current levels. House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries says the Republican bill “continues to gut the health care of everyday Americans.”
