NextImg:Watch: Jeffries to speak as tensions rise amid government shutdown

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) spoke to reporters Tuesday morning as the government shutdown enters its seventh day.

His comments came after President Trump called on Democrats to reopen the government and support the GOP’s “clean” continuing resolution. In exchange, the president said he would be willing to discuss a potential deal on extending Affordable Care Act subsidies, set to expire at the end of the year, at a later date.

Jeffries pushed back on the request on Monday, saying Democrats are not involved in such talks with the Trump administration.

The press conference was scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. EDT.
