7:53Now PlayingRepresentative Nicole Malliotakis, a New York Republican, said an agreement to end the government shutdown is "completely" in the hands of Democrats.
The White House tightened its pressure on congressional Democrats as a US government shutdown lurched into a second week, saying it would soon trigger federal worker layoffs without specifying when those could begin.
President Donald Trump spoke with top congressional Republicans Monday and administration officials are working with agency heads on layoff plans, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters.
“If this shutdown continues, layoffs are going to be unfortunate consequence of that,” Leavitt said Monday, declining to give a timeline for when the White House would announce layoffs.
Trump has said that he would use the shutdown to fire thousands more federal workers, who are normally furloughed during government closures.
The Senate is set to vote late Monday for the fifth time on a stopgap bill to keep the government open through Nov. 21. Kevin Hassett, a top economic adviser to Trump, argued that it was time for Democrats to be “reasonable.”
