Vance Says US Headed for Shutdown After Talks With Democrats

Vice President JD Vance said he believes the US government is on track to shut down, seeking to pin the blame on Democrats one day before federal funding is set to lapse.

“I think we’re headed into a shutdown because the Democrats won’t do the right thing,” Vance said Monday following a meeting with congressional leaders at the White House. “I hope they change their mind, but we’re going to see.”
