Washington, October 2 (Xinhua) — An extended federal government shutdown will lead to layoffs, US Vice President J.D. Vance said Wednesday, blaming Democrats for the current impasse.
“Let's be honest, if this goes on for a few more days, or God forbid, a few more weeks, we're going to have to lay people off,” he said at a White House press briefing.
White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt said at a briefing that she expected the layoffs to happen "very soon."
During previous government shutdowns, federal employees deemed essential reported to work while hundreds of thousands of others were forced to take unpaid leave. After the government reopened, they were paid retroactively.
