House Democratic Leadership including House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) along with House Minority Whip Rep. Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) and House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar hold a news conference on the government shutdown.
The United States government shut down early Wednesday morning, setting the stage for the furlough of hundreds of thousands of federal workers and the shuttering of a slew of key programs and services.
The full shutdown began after top Democrats and Republicans, including President Donald Trump, failed to agree on a short-term deal to keep the government funded.
Democrats, led by Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, demand that any stopgap funding measure include an extension of enhanced Obamacare tax credits.
