US EditionDemocrats vote down GOP funding bill, putting government on path to shutdown
Shutdown stems from GOP refusal to fund healthcare subsidies, risking furloughs for 750,000 federal workers daily and delaying key government services, analysts say.

- House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer stated that Republicans shut down the government to avoid protecting healthcare funding under the Affordable Care Act.

- President Donald Trump's administration has frozen USD 26 billion earmarked for Democratic states, creating further tension during the shutdown negotiations.
