The Democratic House of Representative leader of New York sent a letter to the Republican Leader on Monday as the Democrats Dig their heels during the Democrat shutdown, hope to hop that one is expected to win Expansion of tax credit for health care marketplace of Affordable Care Act,
“I write you to challenge a debate on the floor of the House of Representatives on any day of this week in Primtime, a broadcast for the American people,” Jeffrees said.
Last month, the House called the Bill a “Clean” Stopgap spending a continuous resolution before leaving for the Jewish high holidays. A “Clean CR” is a continuous resolution that allows the government to remain open if the Congress fails to pass the 12 spending bills expected for the financial year starting on October 1, with no additional riders or policy changes.
The House did not return and on Friday, Johnson declared a district work week this week, meaning that the House will not return for votes.
But Jeffrees urged his colleague to make a case for the public on the other side and said that the country needed a bilateral talks between the White House and the Congress leadership.
“Unfortunately, Donald Trump and your party decided to shut down the government as the GOP refused to provide health care to everyday Americans,” Jeffrees said. “Next, you have placed the House Republican on leave instead of working with Democrats to reopen the government.”
President Donald Trump has made fun of Jeffreies, posting many racist cartoons of Jeffreies Dressed in a Mexican somberroAccusing the Democrats that there is a desire to give health care benefits to unspecified migrants, despite the fact that the United States is unqualified for illegally incoming non -resident federal benefits.
He said, “Given the urgency of this moment and the Republicans refuse to negotiate a bipartisan agreement, a debate on the floor will provide the American people with transparency he deserves,” he said.
But Johnson reprimanded Jeffrees’ overcher as a performance, saying that voting revealed that most people do not approve Democrat’s message around the shutdown.
“Look, my friend, Hakim had taken his shot,” Johnson said. “We all debated the house floor, as you know, before he passed our bill, he talked for seven or eight minutes, he had a line by all his colleagues. They gave it their best shot, and they argued and argued that they put their feet and shouted at us, and then, we had passed the bill in Biparisan fashion and we had sent it to the Senate.”
Johnson accused Jeffrees of playing politics.
He said, “I am not going to try to show Hakim for these dramatic people,” he said. I mean, this is a Chak Shumor decision, the ball is now in the Senate court. ,
Many Democrats and Republicans agree that they have to make an agreement to keep the premium on the insurance market by 1 November. But Johnson said in a press conference that the government is the first priority to reopen it.
He said, “The last time I investigated, it is 6 October, we have the entire month of October,” he said. “We will be around the clock to work through all these things, but we have to be opened again to do it.”
But even if the Senate somehow comes on an agreement, Johnson will still need to place the agreement on the floor of the House, which is not guaranteed.
“When the simple truth is on your side, you have nothing to hide,” Johnson said. “I am just presenting it to the American people.”
