SHOCK: Democrats Try to Adjourn House of Representatives and Go Home Hours Before Government Shutdown (VIDEO)
The US government is hours away from a shutdown and the Democrats on Saturday tried to adjourn the House of Representatives and go home before a deal for a stopgap bill was reached.
House Republicans on Friday failed to pass a 30-day stopgap funding bill as a government shutdown looms.
Speaker McCarthy’s bill would have funded the government until October 31.
Lawmakers are up against a September 30th midnight (Oct.1 at 12:01 am) deadline.
Congressman Matt Gaetz was one of the leading Republicans who voted against McCarthy’s short-term bill.
“Last night, House Republicans agreed that we wouldn’t fund DHS unless e-verify was passed because we’d have to take a vote on HR 2,” Gaetz said on Friday morning.
