Hakeem Jeffries Rejects GOP Funding Proposal

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has firmly opposed Speaker Mike Johnson's revised government funding proposal, declaring, 'I'm not just a no, I'm a hell no,' in a recent caucus meeting. This resistance from Jeffries and the Democratic Party complicates the GOP's efforts to pass the funding deal, which is being split into separate bills to avoid a government shutdown. Despite Johnson's attempts to garner support by breaking the proposal into individual pieces, Democrats are largely expected to withhold their votes, given their collective disapproval. The outcome of this standoff will likely hinge on the Republican conference's ability to unify and Johnson's capacity to navigate the complex legislative process. As Democrats prepare for further discussions, the fate of the funding deal remains precarious, with Jeffries' opposition serving as a significant roadblock.
