'I think we're headed to a shutdown': What a government stoppage could look like [View all]
(Yahoo Finance) A meeting in the Oval Office doesn't appear to have lessened the chances of a partial government shutdown, with both sides leaving the gathering saying no deal is in the immediate offing.
"We have very large differences," said Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer after he left the Oval Office.
Vice President JD Vance went further, saying in a separate appearance: "I think we're headed to a shutdown." Republican Senate Leader John Thune added of the Democratic approach: "This is purely and simply hostage taking."
The lack of progress boosts the odds of the first government shutdown since 2019, which could begin on Wednesday morning at 12:01 a.m. ET without a last-minute deal.
