Rep. Jeffries: We Want to Reach a Spending Agreement with Republicans That Meets the Needs of the American People

RUSH EXCERPT:
JEFFRIES: "We are always of the view that we need to fund the government and make sure that the services that the American people rely upon can continue to be received and also that we stand by our federal civil servants. We’ve seen since January 20th mass firings already taking place by the Trump Administration in the absence of a government shutdown because this is what they’ve determined to do, hurt everyday Americans. We consistently have made the point. We want to find a bipartisan path forward and reach a spending agreement with our Republican colleagues that actually meets the needs of the American people but that also addresses the Republican health care crisis that is harming everyday Americans all across the country, rural America, urban America, the heartland of America, suburban America, small town America, and black and brown communities throughout America."
