House Republican leaders fought the closure against Democrats on Saturday morning’s call with Republican members urging unification to call on Rep. Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) move to cancel a previously planned vote next week as they aim to urge Senate Democrats to accept a seven-week funding bill for “cleaning” seven-week funding bill.
However, there are some swinging rooms in the schedule, if the senator reaches a deal, demanding the house to return to Washington and pass a compromise. According to sources, leaders said they will send at least 48 hours of notice.
But as of now, Republicans believe they have the upper hand in the funding struggle, with no reason to bring House members back to Washington and spread the Senate’s actions.
“The House will resume meetings and do the work when (Senate Minority Leader) Chuck Schumer ((DN.Y.) allows us to reopen the government,” Johnson said in a press conference on Friday.
The government will remain closed as Senate Democrats voted against homes on Friday for a fourth time, with the ongoing solution to fund the government by November 21.
Democrats have offered a counter-claim, which has also failed repeatedly as they urge Republicans to negotiate health care policies, such as expanding the Affordable Care Act, strengthening subsidies that expire at the end of the year.
Republicans say they won’t negotiate health care subsidies until the government opens up.
“We can’t make a commitment or commitment to COVID subsidies because it’s not what we can guarantee to do to votes,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune (RSS) said Friday. “I’m talking about it, I want to have a conversation with our Democratic colleagues about how to solve this problem…but when the government is shut down, that won’t happen.”
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (DN.Y.) said Friday that he will bring Democrats to Washington next week even if there is no pre-vote.
He slammed Republicans for canceling the vote in a statement, noting that it would delay the sworn in by Arizona Democrats, which would be the last signature needed to bypass Republican leadership and force a bill to release documents related to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“Speaker Johnson canceled the vote next week, so House Republicans can continue to take leave and deprive Americans of affordable health care to prevent elected representative Adelita Grijalva from taking office and stopping the release of Epstein’s archives,” Jeffries said.
“At the same time, the government is still shutting down and medical expenses for millions of Americans are increasing,” he continued. “It’s time for Republicans to get back to work and we can reopen government, eliminate cuts, reduce costs and save health care.”
