Vance says US 'headed to a shutdown' after meeting with Democrats

Vice President JD Vance warns a shutdown is imminent as Republicans and Democrats clash over funding extensions and healthcare subsidies, risking disruption for millions, including 24 million ACA recipients.

  • After a White House meeting with President Donald Trump and congressional leaders, talks ended without a deal, raising the shutdown risk if Congress fails to act before Tuesday midnight.
  • With Republicans seeking a clean CR, healthcare demands have become the sticking point as Democrats, led by House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, insist on preserving expiring Affordable Care Act benefits amid rising premiums and the November 1st sign-up period.
  • Vice President JD Vance highlighted a $1.5 trillion spending package in criticizing Democratic demands, while House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said, `We believe that simply accepting the Republican plan to continue to assault and gut health care is unacceptable.`
  • Federal workers could be furloughed and services from NASA to national parks disrupted, while roughly 24 million Americans who get coverage through the Affordable Care Act face higher costs if subsidies lapse.
  • Democrats warn the standoff could hurt them in the 2026 midterm elections, and Democratic aides have floated a seven- to 10-day extension to buy time.
