'No end in sight': Political partisan standoff continues during 6th day of government shutdown

Video Description

Republicans and Democrats remain at an impasse on Monday as the government shutdown entered its sixth day and the possibility of layoffs escalates. President Donald Trump blamed Democrats on Sunday when asked about his threat to fire federal workers. "I call them Democrat layoffs. They're Democrat layoffs. They're causing it. We're ready to go back, you know," Trump told reporters before boarding Marine One. "We have a record-setting economy. We have a record-setting country. Prices are way down. We're doing better than the country has ever done, and the Democrats hate seeing that. It's up to them. Anybody laid off, that's because of the Democrats." The ongoing shutdown is a result of a tug-of-war over a short-term bill to fund the government through Nov. 21. -------------------------------------------------- For more on the story: https://komonews.com/news/connect-to-congress/partisan-standoff-republicans-democrats-continues-as-government-shutdown-enters-sixth-day-with-no-resolution-furloughed-layoffs-federal-workforce-short-term-bill-funding-health-care-illegal-immigrants-capitol-hill-house-senate-president-trump# _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: KOMO News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KOMONews/ KOMO News on Twitter: https://twitter.com/komonews KOMO News on Instagram: http://instagram.com/komo4 KOMO News on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@komo4seattle Subscribe to KOMO on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC__2_0RJ8XnHt2angfw6S1Q/?sub_confirmation=1 Watch more top local news stories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G97AyNO_3IE&list=PLZm7uq7_dyY6qhFFIwgXRvYpkaOnZEabc&index=2&t=0s For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit http://www.komonews.com/ Watch our live newscasts and other live video at https://komonews.com/watch Download our iOS App: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/komo-news-mobile/id433508161?mt=8 Download our Android App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newssynergy.komo&hl=en Have a news tip?
