Congress is barreling toward a government shutdown with both sides digging in two days before the Oct. 1 funding deadline.
Republicans are insisting on a "clean" continuing resolution that would fund the government until Nov. 21.
Sen. Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.), the Democratic leaders in the Senate and House, are demanding concessions to protect health care, including reversing Medicaid cuts passed in the GOP's tax and spending megabill and extending Affordable Care Act subsidies that expire at the end of the year.
President Trump hosted Schumer and Jeffries, along with their GOP counterparts — Senate Majority Leader John Thune (S.D.) and House Speaker Mike Johnson (La.) — for talks at the White House on Monday afternoon.
Vice President Vance came out of the meeting predicting a shutdown. Barring a breakthrough, it would mark the 21st shutdown in the past 50 years.
The last time funding ran out under Trump, it became the longest shutdown in United States history. The president's first term saw three shutdowns, though the other two were relatively brief.
Former President George W. Bush made it through eight years in office without a single shutdown. Former President Obama had one. Former President Reagan oversaw eight shutdowns, though none lasted for more than three days, while former President Carter had five lasting about a week or two.
