If Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid gets his way, Republicans will get no concessions in exchange for continuing to fund the government past Monday and raising the debt ceiling in mid-October.
Reid doubled down on his promise not to negotiate on either subject in a press conference Thursday, saying: “We’re not going to play their game.”
The government will shut down on Tuesday if the Republican-controlled House and the Democrat-controlled Senate cannot reach an agreement to continue funding it. The sticking point is Obamacare, which gets defunded in the government funding bill passed by the House.
