JUST IN: Mike Johnson Gives Dems Ominous Warning In New Update On Government Shutdown

House Speaker Mike Johnson isn’t buying that Democrats are ready to blink on the government shutdown.

“The Democrats, incredibly, are showing no signs at all that they want to end their shutdown,” Johnson said bluntly at his daily Capitol press conference Thursday.

The Louisiana Republican said Senate Democrats will get yet another shot to back the House’s funding bill — but he’s not holding his breath.

“Now, they’ll have another opportunity today,” Johnson said. “The Democrats in the Senate will have their 15th opportunity to do the right thing. We’re concerned that they won’t, and if they reject this for the 15th time, they will be ensuring that this shutdown continues past the Nov. 1 deadline.”

So far, the Senate has voted 13 times on the measure, while Johnson counts the original House passage as part of his “15” total.

WATCH:

The speaker called Saturday’s looming deadline “fateful … for a number of reasons” — laying out the real-world impact if Democrats keep stonewalling.

“Starting on Saturday, let me give you a list of things that this means for the American people: it means that tens of millions of American families will struggle to keep food on the table, because the SNAP program benefits will run dry. It means that WIC assistance — that’s Women, Infants and Children, nutrition programs — will be at risk of running dry. It means that Head Start centers, which serve 60,000 children nationwide, will be at risk of closure,” Johnson warned. “Millions of federal workers … will miss their paychecks.”

Johnson’s message was clear: if Democrats don’t budge soon, they’ll own the pain that hits home this weekend.
