The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown has rolled into its fifth day, and the White House isn’t holding back on its frustration with Democrats. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, speaking during a press briefing, confirmed that while President Trump still hasn’t had any direct talks with Democratic leadership, the White House and administration members have been engaged in “good faith negotiations with Democrats.”
According to Newsweek, despite those talks, the counterproposal sent over clearly didn’t impress. Leavitt stated, “Last night, they sent over a counterproposal that, frankly, was very unserious. And we hope they get serious very soon because Americans are going to be impacted by this.”
