House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries will speak with reporters Thursday afternoon with less than a week until government funding lapses.
The Sept. 30 deadline is inching closer after Senate Democrats blocked the House GOP-led continuing resolution that would have kept the lights on until Nov. 21.
Lawmakers and their aides are now bracing for a shutdown after President Trump canceled a planned meeting with Democratic leaders. Democrats said they could not approve any stopgap funding bill if they are not included in negotiations, especially as they push for an extension on Affordable Care Act subsidies.
The press conference also comes after Jeffries pushed back on the Trump administration's threat of mass firings if the government shuts down.
The event is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. EDT.
