US News LIVE: House Speaker Mike Johnson Holds Press Conference Amid Ongoing US Govt Shutdown
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and GOP congressional leadership convened a high-stakes press conference at the White House on Day 8 of the ongoing U.S. federal government shutdown. The event highlighted Republican demands for Senate Democrats—led by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer—to pass a clean funding bill without Democratic priorities, such as enhanced Obamacare subsidies, which expire at the end of the year. Johnson accused Democrats of "holding the American people hostage" and failing to negotiate in good faith, emphasizing that the House has already approved a short-term stopgap. With federal workers furloughed, military paychecks delayed until October 15, and national parks closed, tensions escalated as White House officials warned of potential permanent layoffs if talks stall further. The shutdown, triggered on October 1 over stalled budget talks, marks the first under the Trump administration since 2019, with both parties trading blame in a messaging war.
