FIRST ON FOX: House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is putting pressure on House Democrats hours before a critical vote on a bill to avert a partial government shutdown before the end of this week.
A video clip, which runs just under two minutes, is a supercut of top Democratic lawmakers emphasizing that their party does not support government shutdowns nor the office closures and mass furloughs that come with them.
"House Democrats have long warned about the consequences of a government shutdown," the text on the screen begins.
The message is immediately followed by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., stating during a press conference, "We believe in governance. We want to keep government open. A shutdown is very serious."
