Congress leaders remain deadlocked before the vote

Democratic and republican leaders remain far from how to end the partial closure of the United States government when another voting day is approaching on Monday.
In separate Sunday interviews with NBC’s Meet The Press, the best democrat in the Hakeem Jeffries room and its republican leader Mike Johnson each blamed the other party for the continuous dead end, which will go to the fifth day on Monday.
The key division problem was health care. Democrats want to ensure health insurance subsidies for low -income people, do not express and aim to reverse the cups on the Medicaid health program.
A bill to finance the government adopted the Chamber, but failed several times in the Senate.
Jeffries accused the Republicans of “lying” on the intentions of the Democrats in negotiations “because they lose the Court of public opinion”. But Johnson said that the Democrats are “not serious” and negotiate in bad faith – “they do this to obtain political coverage”.
The Senate is expected to meet on Monday afternoon and once again take a pair of continuous resolutions to finance the government. Meanwhile, the Democrats of the Chamber will meet on Monday to discuss the situation. Johnson has extended a recreation from the House throughout the week, which means that the Congress Lower Chamber will not be in session to take a financing bill if the Senate will make changes and conclude an agreement.
Republicans hold a close majority of 53 seats in the Senate of 100 seats, but any funding measure will require 60 votes to pass.
In his interview with NBC, Johnson argued that the Democrats’ refusal to approve a short -term spending bill which maintained funding at the current levels was not necessary. The health care tax credits in question do not express until the end of the year, he said, and a democratic proposal would add too many new expenses to a seven-week stopgap.
“We have a lot of time to understand this,” he said.
He also argued that tax credits would not help to solve what he says to be major problems with health care policy, in particular “illegal foreigners and young valid men without load” using Medicaid.
Some Republicans, including vice-president JD Vance, have challenged the position of democrats as “trying to give health care to illegal foreigners”. Democrats have denied these complaints and illegal or undocumented immigrants are not eligible for the programs that Democrats support, the BBC verifies reports.
Jeffries told NBC Kristen Welker that Democrats believe that the consequences of expired credits are disastrous.
“We defend the health care of American taxpayers who work hard,” he said. “If the Republicans continue to refuse to extend the affordable care tax credit, tens of millions of American taxpayers will undergo premiums, copays and considerably increased deductibles.”
Jeffries criticized the treatment by President Donald Trump of the closure and his publications on social networks targeting democrats, saying that “this behavior is scandalous”. “We need serious leadership,” he said.
Jeffries added that the Republican leaders have ceased to communicate with the Democrats and accused them of negotiating in bad faith.
“As a Democrats, our opinion is that we will find an agreement bipartite with our republican colleagues to reopen the government, to really adopt a bill of expenditure that meets the needs of the American people,” said Jeffries. “But we must decisively approach this republican health care crisis which is devastating of workers’ taxpayers.”
The new CBS survey data, the American partner of the BBC, found that the Americans consider the management of both parties, President Trump also allowed a negative reception.
The survey revealed that 80% of nearly 2,500 Americans interviewed are very or somewhat concerned about the effect of closing the economy. Only 23% of those questioned said the Republican post was worth closing, while 28% said the same thing about the Democrat argument.
The survey revealed that the voters blame Trump and the Republicans at the Congress for the situation, at 39%, but the Democrats were not far behind at 30%. About 31% of Americans were questioned said the two parties were to blame.
Meanwhile, the consequences of the closure begin to go up while the closure stops in its second week. On Saturday, the National Gallery of Art announced that it had to close its doors due to the lack of funding.
Trump has repeatedly threatened to use the closure to promulgate mass layoffs through the federal government and reduce agencies and services which, according to him, are important for Democrats.
The details of these potential cuts were not made public. The president argued that it was a chance “to clean dead wood, waste and fraud. Billions of dollars can be saved”.
Johnson was asked about the threats in the Sunday interview, telling NBC that he had not seen any details, but “it is a regrettable situation that the president does not want”.
“I want Chuck Schumer to do the right thing he has done throughout his career over 30 years at Congress and vote to keep the government open,” said Johnson, adding that as long as the government was blocked, the White House “made difficult decisions”.
