Congressional leaders failed to reach an agreement on a stopgap spending resolution yesterday, with the prospect of a government shutdown just one day away. 
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) met with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance yesterday afternoon but remained deadlocked.
