Republicans are mired in a fight with one another that has set us on the path towards a devastating Government Shutdown that is now just six days away. A small group of House Republican extremists are continuing to hold up any sort of meaningful action on the matter with their refusal to even consider a short term funding bill, known as a continuing resolution. That is a measure that could realistically be brought to the floor of congress over the next few days before the funding runs out next saturday at midnight.

Ahead of a call with republicans yesterday afternoon, Speaker Mccarthy expressed a bit of hope, telling reporters what he thinks when it gets down to crunch, time the holdouts will, quote hopefully move off. A few hours later, however the louisiana congressman this man here and ally who wasnt struggled in t

Cnns parent company, Warner Brothers discovery, is a part of the negotiations with the union. Cnns Camila Bernal joining me from los angeles. Camila, how hopeful are people .

This sunday. Im fredricka whitfield. We begin with growing pressure on the u. S. Congress to avoid a crippling u. S. Government shutdown this week. Time is running out. Lawmakers now have just six days to pass a Spending Bill to fund the government. Federal agencies have already started the formal process of preparing for a shutdown. If that happens, millions of federal workers could have their paychecks withheld until a deal is reached.

But theyre using democrat votes to try to cause a shutdown. These individuals, these republican hold outs are voting with nancy pelosi. We should have separate single subject Spending Bills. K
