Jeffries: GOP Will “Own Any Harm” From Shutdown

The Associated Press reports:

The top Democrat in the House is blaming Republicans for a government shutdown if one happens.

“An agreement is an agreement,” Jeffries concluded. “It was bipartisan, and there’s nothing more to say.” Democrats have decried the GOP revolt over the stopgap measure, which would have also provided some $100 billion in disaster aid to states hammered by Hurricanes Helene and Milton and other natural disasters.
