Hakeem Jeffries rejects Mike Johnson's shutdown plan

Hakeem Jeffries, the House Minority Leader, has firmly rejected House Speaker Mike Johnson's proposal to avoid a government shutdown, which involves a "laddered" continuing resolution (CR) that would fund different parts of the government at different times. Jeffries criticized the plan as "partisan" and "extreme," arguing that it would lead to multiple shutdown deadlines, causing unnecessary chaos and uncertainty. He emphasized that Democrats are advocating for a straightforward, clean CR to keep the government funded without the complications introduced by Johnson's approach. Jeffries also highlighted the need for bipartisanship, suggesting that the House should follow the Senate's lead in passing a simple extension to maintain government operations.
