House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) closed the door on House Republicans entering discussions to alter the short-term spending deal passed by the House in mid-September, saying the consequences of the bill not passing are “100%” Democrats’ fault.

During House GOP leadership’s second press conference since the start of the government shutdown on Wednesday, Johnson and Republican leaders amped up messaging that the closing of federal agencies and the layoffs that come with it should be blamed on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
