WASHINGTON (AP) — A partisan standoff over heath care and spending is threatening to trigger the first U.S. government shutdown in almost seven years. The government will shut down at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday if the Senate does not pass a House measure that would extend federal funding for seven weeks. Senate Democrats say they won’t vote for it unless Republicans include an extension of expiring health care benefits, among other demands, while President Donald Trump and Republicans are refusing to negotiate at all.
