US lawmakers race to avert govt shutdown as year ends

A day before a potential government shutdown, the House rejected President-elect Donald Trump's new plan on Thursday to fund operations and suspend the debt ceiling, as Democrats and dozens of Republicans refused to accommodate his sudden demands.

President Joe Biden has discussed the potential shutdown with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Friday.

"There's still time," Jean-Pierre said, to avoid a partial government shutdown.

She said Republicans created the situation and are responsible for fixing it.

"Republicans blew up this deal. They did, and they need to fix this," Jean-Pierre said.
