WASHINGTON: A day before a potential government shutdown, the House rejected President-elect Donald Trump's new plan on Thursday to fund operations and suspend the debt ceiling, as Democrats and dozens of Republicans refused to accommodate his sudden demands.
President Joe Biden has discussed the potential shutdown with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Friday.
"There's still time," Jean-Pierre said, to avoid a partial government shutdown.
She said Republicans created the situation and are responsible for fixing it.
"Republicans blew up this deal. They did, and they need to fix this," Jean-Pierre said.
That could involve splitting up the previous efforts - government funding, disaster and agricultural aid into separate votes - with a debt ceiling vote potentially later.
They're meeting privately during the lunch hour to discuss next steps, with a shutdown less than 12 hours away.
That's according to multiple people who received an update in a closed-door Democratic Caucus meeting.
