Top congressional leaders are at the White House this afternoon to meet with President Trump just under 36 hours before funding for the federal government runs out. The government will shut down Wednesday if Congress does not act. NPR's Sam Gringless has more.
President Trump called in both the Republican and Democratic leaders of the House and Senate. He canceled the meeting with the two Democrats last week. Republicans want to pass a short-term spending bill to temporarily fund the government at current spending levels through later this fall. But to do that, Republicans need some help from Democrats in the Senate. Democrats say they're unwilling to go along with the plan unless Congress also extends subsidies for Affordable Care Act health insurance plans that are set to expire soon. If the government shuts down, non-essential services will stop and hundreds of thousands of federal workers will not be paid. Sam Greenglass, NPR News.
