'Layoffs are imminent', says White House on shutdown
The White House warned on Wednesday, October 1, that worker layoffs are imminent as the first day of the government shutdown unfolded.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters cuts could come in "two days."
Vice President J.D. Vance has acknowledged the situation could escalate quickly into layoffs if the shutdown continues even as he said no final decision has been made about whether certain workers will be laid off or furloughed.
