NextImg:Watch: Johnson gives remarks as shutdown nears one-week mark

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) spoke to reporters Tuesday morning as the government shutdown stretches into its seventh day.

Senate Democrats on Monday blocked the GOP’s “clean” continuing resolution from advancing, marking the fifth time the stopgap funding bill has been rejected. The vote has remained virtually unchanged, other than absences, since the shutdown started last Wednesday.

Democrats are standing firm on their demands for health care concessions to be included in the short-term funding resolution and Republicans have grown frustrated about the lack of movement. They need at least five more Democratic lawmakers to come on board to reach the 60-vote threshold needed in the Senate to reopen the government.

The press conference was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT.
