We are determined in our determination to avoid a government’s closure and address the Republican healthcare.” Republicans believe that these provisions should be negotiated separately. “We don’t want to close the government, but if Democrats refuse to pass this clean continued resolution, that’s exactly what’s going to happen, and I think Democrats are going to bear the responsibility for it,” Vice President JD Vance said on Fox News on Sunday.

Officials have already indicated that a closure is “likely” without concessions. The house has approved a short -term financing bill, but Senate Republicans will need at least seven democratic votes to send the measure to Trump’s desk before the deadline.
