As Senate Republican leadership has held <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/live-updates\/government-shutdown-2025-latest-senate-votes-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">repeat votes <\/a><\/span>on a House-passed measure to fund the government, looking to peel off support from across the aisle, Democrats have demanded an extension of expiring health insurance tax credits as a condition for their support to reopen the government. And as Democrats call for negotiations in the funding fight, Republican leaders say there&#8217;s nothing to negotiate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When asked Sunday about Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer&#8217;s insistence that the stalemate would only be <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/government-shutdown-mike-johnson-chuck-schumer-negotiations\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">solved by negotiations<\/a><\/span> between congressional leaders and the White House, Vance said &#8220;this isn&#8217;t a deal-making, this isn&#8217;t a negotiation, this is hostage-taking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If Chuck Schumer wants to come into the Oval Office or come to my house, he is welcome to talk about how to fix health care policy for Americans,&#8221; Vance said. &#8220;But you don&#8217;t come into the Oval Office and say, &#8216;unless you the President of the United States give us everything that I want, I&#8217;m going to shut down the government.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Vance added, &#8220;we&#8217;ll negotiate over health care policy, but only once you do your job and open up people&#8217;s government.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On the question of the health insurance tax credits, Vance said &#8220;we think the tax credits actually go to a lot of waste and fraud within the insurance industry, so we want to make sure that the tax credits go to the people who need them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of willingness to negotiate, a lot of willingness to compromise from both the moderate Democrats and certainly from the White House,&#8221; Vance said. &#8220;But if the far-left Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, are going to shut down the government and refuse to open up the government unless they get everything they want, that&#8217;s not a negotiation, that&#8217;s a hostage taking. And we&#8217;re not going to reward that kind of behavior from Washington, DC.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile on Friday, the White House announced that <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/live-updates\/government-shutdown-live-updates-as-military-poised-to-miss-first-paychecks-next-week\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">layoffs<\/a><\/span> previewed earlier in the shutdown had begun, and the administration said in a court filing that seven agencies began issuing reduction-in-force notices to more than 4,000 workers.<\/p>\n<p>Vance said the government is focused on &#8220;ensuring essential services remain open&#8221; when asked how the administration is deciding who gets laid off. And he urged that &#8220;this is not a situation that we&#8217;re excited about,&#8221; saying &#8220;we want the government to reopen, but Chuck Schumer and the Democrats decided to shut down the government, and we have to deal with the consequences in the administration, so that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re doing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pressed about the layoffs, some of which were rescinded, Vance said &#8220;the government shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are figuring out how to take money from some areas and give it to other areas,&#8221; Vance said. &#8220;That chaos is because Schumer and the far-left Democrats shut down the government.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On whether the layoffs can hold up to legal scrutiny after two unions sued to block the mass layoffs during the shutdown, Vance said, &#8220;we think that we have the authority to do what we need to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All these conversations about whether it&#8217;s a temporary layoff or a permanent layoff, we are dealing with a terrible, chaotic situation because Chuck Schumer and a few far left Democrats decided to shut down the government,&#8221; Vance said. &#8220;If they just join with the moderate Democrats and the vast majority of Republicans, we can open up the government, and all these conversations will no longer be necessary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async
