Government shutdown updates: Trump signs government funding bill

House Democratic Hakeem Jeffries said he has not spoken to the eight Senate Democrats who voted with Republicans to advance the funding bill to reopen the government.

"Well, I don't have much to say about those individuals, and they're going to have to explain themselves to their constituents and to the American people. I certainly believe that Senate Democrats, the overwhelming majority of Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, have waged a valiant fight over the last seven weeks," he argued.

Jeffries said "yes" and "yes" when asked if Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer should remain the Democratic leader and if he is effective at his job.

Schumer, despite voting no on the Republican spending bill, has faced calls from Democrats in Congress to step down from Senate leadership over his failure to keep members of his party in line.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told ABC News Senior Political Correspondent Rachel Scott that House Democrats are "deeply skeptical" about the Trump administration signing off on the language included in the Senate funding bill that would reverse shutdown firings for federal workers.

"In this deal, there is language for President Trump and the Trump administration to reverse some of the firings that happened during the shutdown. Do you trust that the Trump administration and the president is going to sign off on that and reverse the people who have been fired?" Scott asked Jeffries at his news conference on Monday.

Jeffries answered, in part: "There's reason to be deeply skeptical of the administration and their motives as it relates to the hard-working federal civil servants and the federal workforce, and we will continue to be deeply skeptical of their intentions. ... So, we'll see what the language looks like. But it doesn't change the core problem here, which is we need to decisively address the Republican healthcare crisis on behalf of working-class Americans, everyday Americans and middle-class Americans."

Speaker Mike Johnson is expected to swear in Arizona Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva prior to any votes in the House this week on government funding, which have not been formally scheduled yet.

Johnson previously said he'll swear in Grijalva when the House returns for legislative session, and his office confirms to ABC News that the swearing-in will occur before the House takes votes this week.

Grijalva won her special election on Sept. 23, four days after Johnson dismissed lawmakers following House passage of the clean continuing resolution to fund the government. While the question has followed the speaker throughout the shutdown, Johnson has shrugged off the delay in the swearing-in, arguing that his decision is not about Grijalva's intent to become the 218th signature a discharge petition that would force a floor vote on compelling the Department of Justice to release the complete Jeffrey Epstein files.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer argued on Monday that Republicans are now to blame for rising health care costs after Affordable Care Act subsidies were not included in the bipartisan deal to reopen the government.

"The American people have now awoken to Trump's health care crisis. Health care is once again at the forefront of people's minds. People now see that premiums are about to skyrocket. They're terrified about how they're going to pay for their insurance," Schumer said on the Senate floor. "Democrats demanded that we find a way to fix this crisis and quickly, but Republicans have refused to move an inch. So, I cannot support the Republican bill that's on the floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America's health care crisis."

“Doing nothing is unacceptable, but that's the choice the Republican side made in obeisance to Donald Trump,” Schumer added. “Republicans now own this health care crisis. They knew it was coming. We wanted to fix it. Republicans said no, and now it's on them."
