Speaker Johnson criticizes Democrats for prioritizing health care for undocumented immigrants over funding for troops and nutrition programs.
Quiver AI Summary
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson addressed concerns about government funding on CNN and Fox News, urging Congressional Democrats to abandon their $1.5 trillion spending demands. He asserted that a government shutdown would hinder benefits for American troops and essential nutrition programs, stating, "It's shameful that they're playing politics with all the services."
Johnson emphasized that the Republicans aim to keep the government operational while allowing for continued appropriation discussions. He criticized Democratic leaders for prioritizing health care for illegal immigrants over troops' pay and noted bipartisan efforts underway to manage the appropriations process.
As the September 30 deadline approaches, Johnson warned that failure to reach a compromise could result in significant service disruptions, attributing the urgency to Democrats' demands that he claims are politically motivated. He called for a simple resolution to avoid a shutdown and allow for further negotiations.
