House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) will speak with reporters Tuesday morning as the government shutdown stretches into its 35th day.
Democrats and Republicans alike are feeling the pressure to advance a bill to reopen the government. High health insurance premiums and funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) have been at the forefront of the impasse — though some moderate Dems have signaled willingness to flesh out a deal.
Jeffries has also in recent days chastised President Trump and Republican leaders over delays in releasing more documents related to the late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
The press conference is scheduled to begin at noon EST.
