Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) will hold his ritual daily press briefing on Monday as the House remains out of session on day 27 of the government shutdown.
The longest shutdown ever lasted 35 days, during President Trump's first term.
Johnson has kept the House out of session, arguing it has already passed a stopgap spending bill and has nothing more to do until Senate Democrats vote to reopen the government.
Johnson last week criticized news coverage about the government shutdown while arguing Democrats are more to blame.
“If the Republicans were responsible for this shutdown, that would lead the news in every mainstream media outlet every single night, it would be top fold of every newspaper, on the front page every single day,” Johnson said on Wednesday.
“The American people are not stupid, and we’re in here every day appealing to their common sense and relating the facts,” Johnson said.
Yet poll after poll finds that slightly more Americans think Republicans are to blame for the shutdown than those who think Democrats are at fault.
