Jeffries insists Democrats won't budge on health care demands in 'UPFRONT' interview
Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries says Democrats aren’t budging in their health care demands to reopen the federal government.
“We want to enact a bipartisan spending agreement that actually meets the needs of the people of Wisconsin and the people of this great country while at the same time decisively addressing the Republican health care crisis,” Jeffries said on WISN 12’s ‘UPFRONT,’ which is produced in partnership with WisPolitics. “We’ve said from the beginning that a bipartisan spending bill requires Republicans to sit down with Democrats to reopen the government, but unfortunately during this shutdown, Republicans have actually refused to have a conversation with us as Democrats.”
