House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is holding a press conference on Friday afternoon as the government shutdown continues on its third day.

Democrats and Republicans are trading blame for the onset of the shutdown, which took effect on Wednesday after Senate Democrats rejected House Republicans’ continuing resolution to fund the government through Nov. 21. No agreement has been reached.
