White House spokesmodel: Government layoffs coming if Democrats don't prevent shutdown

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt warned Monday that government layoffs are coming if Democrats don’t prevent a shutdown by Tuesday, days after President Trump’s budget office directed agencies to prepare for mass firings.

“There will be if Democrats don’t keep the government open,” Leavitt said when asked if there will be layoffs as a result of a shutdown.

Trump is set to meet with the four top congressional leaders at the White House later Monday. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) have both said they’re hopeful they can prevent a shutdown.

“There is nothing to negotiate when you have a clean CR [continuing resolution],” Leavitt told reporters Monday morning. “We are nearing a government shutdown; we are nearing a funding deadline. The president wants to make this deadline. He wants to keep this government open.”
