House Democrats to hold virtual meeting next week as shutdown continues

Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) announced that his caucus will meet virtually on Monday evening after Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) decided to keep the House in recess next week while the government shutdown fight continues to play out in the Senate.

“We are in this fight to win this fight for the American people. To that end, the House Democratic Caucus will meet virtually on Monday, October 6 at 6 p.m. ET,” Jeffries wrote in a “Dear Colleague” letter on Saturday. “Thank you for continuing to hold events throughout the country that emphasize our fight to cancel the cuts, lower the cost and save healthcare.”
