Part 5/13:
“The Democrats are trying to prove they’re tough by standing firm, but in doing so, they’re risking the wellbeing of families, military personnel, and federal workers. The Senate has passed a clean continuing resolution, yet Democrats keep saying no. The question becomes: why? Because they’re more interested in political messaging than governing.”
Gingrich further noted that President Trump and other GOP leaders are using this impasse to attempt reforms, including trimming inefficient programs and reassessing federal spending. He observed that Trump’s global engagements, including trips to the Middle East and Korea, suggest that he remains largely unaffected domestically despite the shutdown.
