Jeffries Says GOP ‘Walked Away’ from Spending Talks

“House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said Thursday that the bipartisan talks aimed at preventing a government shutdown have ended — at least temporarily — and accused GOP leaders in the lower chamber of abandoning the discussions,” The Hill reports.

Said Jeffires: “House Republicans have made a decision to walk away from the four-corners discussions that involved House Democrats, Senate Democrats and Senate Republicans related to funding the government in a manner that meets the needs of the American people.”
