Exclusive: The spokesman accuses Mike Johnson, R does not.

In an interview, Johnson told Johnson in an interview that the refusal of the Democrats who are in their current position in an hour -old call with President Donald Trump on Wednesday afternoon.

“[Trump is] Democrats said that this is very bothering that Chuck Schumer would do so, because the Democrats would do so, because we did not do that, ”said Republicans in the House of Representatives.

He pointed out that the Democrats voted for a similar measure of the Republicans on 13 different occasion during the era of former President Joe Biden.

Social Security, airports, food stamps: How are it affected while the government is closed?

Johnson said: “Even when the Republicans were in the minority, we did the right thing to keep the government open. We fully expected Shomer to do it again, as it was always, but not this time,” we did not completely.

“This is a selfish political account he did, and that it must be proven to the far left that he will fight Trump or something like that. So we talked about our frustration with that.”

He said Trump seems “happy” that the Republicans are still united in their federal financing position, but he was concerned about the effects of the lengthy closure on ordinary Americans.

Republicans erupted on the chaos

“But the reason we are happy with that is that we know that we are doing the right thing for the American people,” Johnson said. “Chuck Schumer and Democrats prove that they are ready to inflict this pain to people for their political purposes. I think this is difficult for them.”

“I did my best in the White House, and he is not in a mood for a real discussion on these issues. So we are in the place we are.”

Democrats in the Senate now rejected a plan led by the Republican Party to finance federal agencies until November 21 three times.

This procedure is called a continuous decision (CR) and aims to purchase the Parliament’s negotiators and the Senate more time to reach a deal in the Federal financing priorities for 2026.

CR will maintain almost current federal financing levels, with an additional $ 88 million in security spending for legislators, the White House and the Judicial Branch.

Democrats, who were angry at a large marginalization in the financing of discussions, have indicated that they will not accept any draft law that does not also extend from OBAMACARE tax subsidies that were strengthened during the Covid-19s. These reinforced subsidies are scheduled to end at the end of this year.

But Johnson, who called Obamacare, supports the “End of the Year issue”, argued that the bill was a simple extension of federal financing, leaving the Republicans who have no realistic path to assign.

He said: “If this is not clean and simple, if you download it with a set of Republican party priorities, there will be something for us to negotiate. I can take these things and present them again. I sent them without anything at all.”

“It is only literally buying time for us to finish the credits process, which was made in a way of two parties. So I have nothing to give, there is nothing I can make. Chuck Schumer has made such requests and obscene anti -proposals that must come to its occasions.”

It was referring to the anti -Democrats to combat CR, which would have canceled the Medicaid reforms made in one beautiful Republican bill, while restoring NPR and PBS financing that the Trump administration had earlier this year.

Fox News Digital continues to a Shomer office for a response, but he did not hear about the time of the press.
