Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has confirmed that Democrats will block the Continuing Resolution (CR) bill, pushing the federal government closer to a shutdown with just days left to negotiate.
The CR bill, intended to keep government operations funded, has become a flashpoint for political tensions, with Democrats refusing to support the measure. Schumer has not indicated any willingness to compromise, stating that the bill is “not acceptable” in its current form.
With time running out, the standoff between Congress and the White House could lead to widespread government disruptions, furloughed employees, and economic uncertainty.
Republicans have blasted the move as reckless, accusing Democrats of playing political games while Americans face the consequences of a shutdown.
With the deadline fast approaching, the question remains: Will lawmakers find a last-minute solution, or is a government shutdown now inevitable?
