White House releases fiery statement on government shutdown: 'Playing partisan games'
Fox News
The White House is seeking to point blame at House Republicans ahead of a potential government shutdown this weekend as a new dealhas yet been agreed to.
It continued: "The reason these national security priorities are now at risk: extreme House Republicans’ relentless efforts to slash funding for vital programs rather than work in a bipartisan manner to keep the government open and address emergency needs for the American people."
The statement comes as President Biden and Republicans in the House, led by Speaker Kevin McCarthy, have failed to negotiate new funding levels or a continuing resolution, which would keep current pandemic-negotiated levels in place as negotiations continue.
