Shutdown Showdown: Leader Jeffries Speaks Out – Government Halt & SNAP Crisis

On Friday, Senate Democrats put forward a bill to end the government shutdown by extending Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies for one year — a move dismissed as “a non-starter” by Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD). Meanwhile, Democrats in the Senate rejected a GOP proposal to pay federal workers during the shutdown, and the House of Representatives will not be meeting next week.
In this interview, Victor Blackwell of CNN talks with House Majority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) about the status of shutdown negotiations and the looming expiration of SNAP benefits.
