Part 2/10:
Kentucky Congressman and Chair of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer, expressed a critical view of the current Democratic leadership, particularly targeting House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Comer suggests that Democrats in competitive districts are "sweating" and attempting to persuade their leadership to reach an agreement to end the shutdown. He claims that the Democrats, controlling the House, had multiple opportunities to keep the government open but chose to vote against such measures, with only one Democrat supporting the bill.
