5:24Now PlayingSen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.) will hold a news conference on Tuesday afternoon with the government shutdown in its third week.
It comes after Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) threw a curveball into the shutdown fight as he plans to bring a full-year spending bill for the Pentagon to the floor on Thursday, effectively daring Democrats to oppose it as part of their push to keep health care at the forefront of the impasse.
