WATCH LIVE: Johnson holds press conference on day 6 of government shutdown

.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is holding a press conference on day six of the government shutdown, as Democrats and Republicans refuse to budge.

Any compromise to end the shutdown remains as elusive as ever, as Democrats maintain that Republicans are trying to strip the destitute of healthcare, and Republicans maintain that Democrats are trying to give healthcare to illegal immigrants.

The Senate will vote again on Monday in an effort to stop the shutdown, but few expect any measures to pass.

Johnson and Jeffries have held several press conferences since the government shut down on Wednesday, focusing on messaging to blame the opposing party.
