Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is warning of a government shutdown unless Republicans agree to protect health care and restore federal spending levels. He says Democrats are now united after GOP-led cuts to Medicaid and safety net programs, marking a shift from his March vote to avoid a shutdown. Schumer, aligned with House Leader Hakeem Jeffries, insists on guarantees for foreign aid and protection against future spending clawbacks. Republicans are pushing for a short-term funding bill and say Democrats must spell out specific health care demands. Schumer argues Democrats have leverage and voters would blame Trump if a shutdown occurs.
