Mike Johnson takes shot at Chuck Schumer, left-base for creating 'red herring' with gov't shutdown

Republicans and Democrats remain at an impasse on Monday as the government shutdown enters its sixth day and the possibility of layoffs escalates.

President Donald Trump blamed Democrats on Sunday when asked about his threat to fire federal workers.

"I call them Democrat layoffs. They're Democrat layoffs. They're causing it. We're ready to go back, you know," Trump told reporters before boarding Marine One. "We have a record-setting economy. We have a record-setting country. Prices are way down. We're doing better than the country has ever done, and the Democrats hate seeing that. It's up to them. Anybody laid off, that's because of the Democrats."

The ongoing shutdown is a result of a tug-of-war over a short-term bill to fund the government through Nov. 21.
