Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer announced that Democrats will block a Republican bill intended to prevent a government shutdown on Saturday, urging the GOP to support a Democratic proposal for funding until April 11. Schumer's statement escalates the tension between the two parties as moderate Democrats express concerns over potential political backlash from a prolonged shutdown. While some Senate Republicans are open to negotiations for a short-term spending bill, the ultimate outcome remains uncertain amid rising economic anxieties.
