Chad Pergram tweeted: “1) Schumer: My friend, the Republican leader said yesterday that if Republicans shut the government down, quote, “It would be politically beyond stupid for us to do that because we, meaning Republicans, get the blame, unquote.” Leader McConnell is absolutely correct. A Republican shutdown would be beyond stupid for Republicans, and they would get the blame because it’s only Speaker Johnson who’s headed in that direction to assuage his hard right
“2) Schumer: For the last two weeks, Speaker Johnson and House Republican leaders have wasted precious time on a proposal that everyone knows can’t become law. His own Republican conference cannot unite around his proposal. Today, the House is expected to vote on the speaker’s C.R., and it’s expected to fail. I hope that once the speaker’s CR fails, he moves on to a strategy that will actually work bipartisan cooperation.
“3) Schumer: If Republicans don’t work with Democrats in a bipartisan way, if the four leaders can’t come together because the House Republicans are so adamant, Americans will blame Republicans, particularly those in the House, for shutting the government down.”
Speaker Mike Johnson quoted Chad Pergram’s tweet and commented: “Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats have not even tried to pass a single appropriations bill.
In fact, they’d shut down the government just so they can allow non-Americans to vote in American elections.
@HouseGOP has been doing its job.
@SenSchumer should consider doing his.”
The US Presidential Election 2024 will take place on Tuesday 5 November, 2024.
