GOP leaders say they will not give into Democratic demands on funding bill as government shutdown looms

It comes as congressional leaders prepare to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday.
Republicans have maintained that Congress should pass a “clean” funding bill and not give in to Democratic demands to extend enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies.
But Democratic leaders have continued to draw a hard line, saying those votes won’t come without a deal to extend the enhanced ACA subsidies.
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said he hopes to avoid a shutdown but argued that outcome depends on Republicans.
Senate Democrats are expected to hold a conference call Sunday afternoon for the caucus to discuss strategy ahead of Tuesday’s government shutdown deadline, according to a Democratic source.
