President Donald Trump said on Friday evening that the government was “heading towards a partial shutdown,” but added that it is the responsibility of the Democrats to bring an end to the funding lapse.
In a video released shortly after the House and Senate adjourned without reaching a deal to a stop the shutdown from happening, President Trump said the following.
“Call it a Democrat shutdown, call it whatever you want. Let’s work together, let’s be bipartisan and let’s get it done. The shutdown hopefully will not last long.”
Per the details provided by the report on Friday, Vice President Mike Pence, acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, and senior White House adviser Jared Kushner were sent to Capitol Hill in an attempt to secure a deal so that things could move forward.
The three White House officials met with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
