White House Blames Democrats for Possible Shutdown

The White House is blaming a possible government shutdown on Senate Democrats.  

Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted this morning that House Republicans voted for a bipartisan deal last night to keep the government open.  

She said the deal would also protect the military, seniors, and children's healthcare, and then put the responsibility of passing the bill on Senate Democrats.

Sanders tweeted that Democrats can join Senate Republicans and do what's right, or shut down the government and hurt Americans who need it most.  

Scores of federal agencies will shut down at midnight unless the Senate approves new funding.
