Top House Democrats are pouring cold water on a Republican proposal to trade a debt limit increase for California wildfire aid, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries telling reporters it was a “nonstarter,” Politico reports.
Said Jeffries: “The Republicans have not opened up any lines of communications with us. It’s not hard to find me. They know where I’m at. They know my number. I haven’t received a single call about a single one of these issues.”
