Watch live: House Democrats give remarks as shutdown clock begins
House Democratic leaders held a press conference Wednesday morning as their GOP colleagues grapple with internal divisions ahead of another looming shutdown.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) has vowed to use the budget fight as a vehicle to block some of President Trump’s efforts to gut federal programs and issue tax cuts. The move likely raises the chance of a shutdown, with government funding set to lapse on March 14.
The press conference was slated to be led by House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.) and Vice Chair Ted Lieu (D-Calif.).
