Hakeem Jeffries rejects Mike Johnson's shutdown plan

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. ffries-rejects-mike-johnson-s-shutdown-plan.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Friday, March 7th 2025 at 16:40 GMT by Axios}

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and his leadership deputies said Friday they will not lend their support to the stopgap spending bill being proposed by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.). Why it matters: Democrats are holding out for language that will restrict President Trump and DOGE from being able to slash government programs already authorized and funded by Congress.

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.
