House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) announced that he will oppose a Republican-backed spending bill designed to reopen the federal government, setting up a high-stakes showdown as the shutdown enters its second week.
The measure, which passed the U.S. Senate late Sunday night by a 60–40 vote, carried broad bipartisan support and appeared poised to end the shutdown that began November 1. But Jeffries made clear that House Democrats would not back the plan, arguing that it fails to meet core Democratic priorities.
Jeffries voiced his support for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Monday, standing by his Senate counterpart amid growing criticism from progressive Democrats over the compromise deal to end the government shutdown.
“Yes and yes,” Jeffries told reporters when asked if Schumer had been effective as Senate minority leader and should remain in his position.
Jeffries, along with other top Democratic leaders, has indicated that they plan to oppose the GOP-backed stopgap funding bill when it reaches the House floor later this week. Schumer also voted against advancing the measure during Sunday’s Senate proceedings.
