White House says Dems will be to blame if gov’t shuts down

President Trump and Democratic leaders are blaming eaching other as the government barrels toward a potential shutdown. Democrats accuse the president of chickening out after he canceled a Thursday meeting with them. But Donald Trump said their budget requests are “unserious” and decided a meeting wouldn’t be “productive.” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says if there is a government shutdown “it will be the fault of the Democrats” and will hurt vulnerable Americans. Congress has until next Tuesday to approve new government funding.
