At this time was the 14th vote to maintain the federal government shut down. Which means we’ll hit day 36 tomorrow, which is a brand new world-record for shutdowns. Congratulations, democrats. You are actually the proud homeowners of a ridiculous and pointless waste of time. To not converse of the hardships brought about for a lot of.
Air site visitors controllers working with out pay. Historically democratic unions are blaming you. Not sufficient cash to cowl meals stamps for ladies, infants, and youngsters. Army folks in hurt’s manner not getting paid. And albeit, the nation’s blaming you. Good going democrats, sensible technique. And you already know full nicely that the Home CR was the Democratic baseline for discretionary applications. No extra, no much less. In different phrases, a clear invoice that ought to have been routinely handed. So, I’m going to foretell that certainly one of today there are going to be extra Democratic defections.
To date, there are three led by Senator Fetterman, however I believe shutdown fatigue for such a large political loser is settling in. Plus, the Home CR extends funding solely as much as November 21, which is de facto only a fortnight away.
Fox Information contributor Kellyanne Conway responds to inflation and analyzes President Donald Trump’s commerce offers on ‘Kudlow.’
And subsequently, a brand new CR must be written. Senator Majority Chief Thune earlier right this moment mentioned, “we have misplaced 5 weeks. So, the November 21 deadline not makes lots of sense. So clearly it must be prolonged. And there’s a dialog round what that subsequent deadline could be.” So meaning a brand new CR goes to be written. You possibly can’t simply change the November 21 deadline by utilizing the eraser on the finish of your pencil. You need to vote within the Senate after which the Home. You possibly can vote for a brand new CR that lasts till year-end, which is Christmas time. I do not assume anyone actually needs that. Or you’ll be able to prolong it into January, which can most likely be extra well-liked.
However I’m going to foretell {that a} bunch of democrats within the Senate will vote to cross a brand new CR. As a result of not each single Senate Democrat could be so silly as to proceed this ridiculous spectacle that’s doing much more injury to the social gathering than even a New York Metropolis mayoral victory from socialist-communist Mamdani, or no matter he’s. As a result of if that man wins, he’ll be the republican poster boy for the Democratic Get together.
And that may add insult to damage to Senator Schumer and his brilliantly executed shutdown charade. Which has already fully disgraced the Democratic Get together.
