House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and House Democratic leadership are not changing their stance on the GOP-led stopgap funding bill, even after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) signaled his willingness to support it.

The party’s Senate leader said the GOP measure is better than enduring a shutdown, ahead of this weekend’s deadline.

Veteran Democrats privately believed Chuck Schumer’s decision on the shutdown was inevitable. Others were ready for the top Senate Democrat to lead them into their first big battle against President Donald Trump — and instead have been left fuming.
