WASHINGTON—House Democrats will not support a measure that would fund the government at current levels, said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on March 6.

“We'll have a conversation as House Democrats on Tuesday morning when we reconvene in the Capitol,” he told reporters at a press conference.
