US EditionCongressional Leaders Lament Absence of ‘Serious’ Bipartisan Talks as Shutdown Enters Second Week
Negotiations stall over health insurance tax credits as polls show 66% of Americans worry about shutdown impacts, with blame divided among political leaders, officials said.
- The federal shutdown began at 12:01 a.m. Oct. 1 in Washington, D.C., pausing operations and affecting hundreds of thousands of federal employees as U.S. Congress remains deadlocked.
- Health care disputes have driven the stalemate, as the U.S. Senate rejected a continuing resolution on Sept. 30, five votes short of the 60 needed to extend funding.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" that the House passed a funding measure and will keep members in their districts, while Senate Democrats accused Johnson of not negotiating seriously.
- Public concern is mounting as surveys report high levels of worry, with a Washington Post poll finding 66% concerned and a Washington Post-SSRS survey on Oct. 1 showing 47% blame Trump and Republicans.
- Negotiations that included a presidential meeting last week failed to bridge the gap, as the House passed funding through Nov. 21 but the U.S. Senate’s Sept. 30 rejection leaves Nov. 21 as the key date.
