WATCH LIVE: Jeffries holds presser on government shutdown
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) held a press conference on the 14th day of the ongoing government shutdown. The deadlock persists as Democrats insist on including permanent extensions of Obamacare subsidies in the continuing resolution proposed by House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to keep the government funded. Republicans have criticized Jeffries for rejecting a one-year extension offer for these subsidies, which they had proposed as a compromise. Jeffries addressed the media in Washington, D.C., amid continuing congressional gridlock over the shutdown resolution.

Jeffries is set to address the media at 2:00 p.m. in Washington, D.C., as congressional gridlock continues into its 14th day.
The stalemate is centered on Democratic demands to attach Obamacare subsidies to House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) continuing resolution to keep the government open. Republicans criticized Jeffries last week for refusing to consider an offer that would grant a one-year extension of expiring Obamacare subsidies instead of the permanent extension he is demanding.
