from The Fox News Rundown · host FOX News Podcasts

Healthcare is the major sticking point in ongoing shutdown negotiations, as Republicans are saying Democrats are looking to remove guardrails in the “One Big Beautiful Bill” which prevent illegal migrants from receiving benefits meant for U.S. citizens. Government funding talks have centered on a short-term spending patch through late October that has a temporary renewal of Obamacare subsidies. Meanwhile, President Trump has warned his administration could make "irreversible" changes to the federal workforce, with a new wave of fresh layoffs of government employees. FOX’s Ryan Schmelz speaks with Rep. Mike Haridopolos (R-FL) who says Republicans just want to continue with spending levels the Democrats agreed to during the Biden administration.
