House Democrats Back Off Red Line on Ending Shutdown

“House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Friday signaled his openness to a proposed one-year extension of expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits as a way to end the government shutdown,” Axios reports.

“Jeffries called a one-year extension proposed by House members “laughable” last month, but he has since proven flexible on several of his initial shutdown demands in an effort to reach a deal.”
