After the big meeting between President Trump and Republican & Democrat congressional leaders, no deal was struck to avert a looming government shutdown.
The meeting lasted for about an hour, but according to reports neither side was willing to budge from their position.
Afterwards, Vice President JD Vance told reporters that a government shutdown is now likely, because Democrats are insisting on free health care for illegals."I think we're headed into a shutdown because the Democrats won't do the right thing" Vance said, "They're basically saying to the American people, we want to give hundreds of billions of dollars to illegal aliens for their health care, while Americans are struggling to pay for their health care bills. I hope they change their mind."
The clock is ticking, as Congress has until midnight Wednesday October 1st to pass a short-term funding extension, or continuing resolution (CR), to avert a partial government shutdown.
The House already passed a funding extension, but the bill was blocked in the Senate earlier this month.
