House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said on Monday that House Democrats will continue opposing a Republican spending bill that doesn’t include an extension of Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits.

“We will sit down with any Republicans anytime, anyplace, anywhere, in order to find a bipartisan path forward,” he said at the Capitol. “We’re not going to support a partisan Republican spending bill that continues to gut the healthcare of the American people.”
