With shutdown, Democrats take a perilous risk at a perilous time

Washington – It was an annoying problem to prevent the closure of the first government in six years: how could their parties dig the worst political hole that their parties have faced for more than thirty years?

This week came a potential answer, when the democratic leaders in Capitol Hill decided to stand and fight the Trump administration to extend health tax loans. A stance on the issue led to a federal closure, in which the Democrats rejected the votes needed to continue to finance the government to the Republicans, forcing hundreds of thousands of federal workers to furoughs or forcing them to work free of charge.

A gambling for a party that encounters the lowest confirmation numbers Since the reagan era – And perhaps that’s a risk that is calculated for democratic leaders to feel forced to take.

Orum I am proud to fight to protect health services for millions of people, Sch Schiff, a senator Adam of California, said in an interview in the afternoon of Wednesday. “I think this is a very necessary fight.”

Health tax loans will end at the end of the year, and if the democrats failed to secure an extension as part of a closure agreement, it is expected to throw premiums for millions of Americans.

“Unless the President and Republicans are willing to work with us, there is not much that can really be done to reduce this dramatic health premium increases,” he said.

According to a New York Times questionnaire, the surveys entering the closure said that the country was divided about who would be accused and that 19% of the Americans and 26% of the Republicans would accuse Republicans. Numerous participants – 33% – said they were responsible for both sides.

Senator Chuck Schumer from New York, a democrat and senate minority leader, The worst forbility numbers For more than 20 years, among its state residents – and with the highest approval ratings Any congress leaderAccording to a recent Pew survey.

Schumer met A common regiment from his party In March, after the last government financing reversed the course, he chose to support the ongoing decision of the Trump administration.

This reckoning came at the summit of an aggressive liquidation by the President Trump of the federal labor force. Schumer said that the closure of a government will only provide more mass ignition.

However, the existing closure provides a license to Audience to Trump management officials, this time it aims at democratic states and priorities.

“We will leave many people to be impressed, Tr Trump said, adding the following in the hours before the closure,“ They will be democrat. ” He said.

On Wednesday, Trump’s Management and Budget Office Director and a long -term concentrated presidential power Russian Vought, social media, California, Washington, Oregon and Hawaii, including 16 democratic majority states, including 8 billion dollars will be canceled to be canceled in the funding.

Hours ago, the Trump administration froze about $ 18 billion, waiting for an investigation waiting for an investigation for the infrastructure projects in New York that Vought would not be ilgil based on the principles of contrary to the constitution ”.

Seeing these actions, Schiff is concerned about more punishing measures against California.

“California, I’m sure, the president’s judge will not be far behind in the actions,” he said.

In the afternoon of Wednesday, a White House press briefing, Vice President JD Vance, rejected that the administration plans to configure politics -based layout.

“We’ll work for things, and that means we need to trigger some things,” he said. “This means that some people need to be dismissed, and we will try to make sure that the American people suffer as little as possible before closing.”

Vance placed the crime in Schumer and other democrats, and many times the democrats have closed the government, and the Republicans refused to give immigrants in the country illegally to give billions of dollars of health financing. Immigrants without legal status Not suitable for any federal health service Programs including Medicaid and Health Insurance within the scope of the appropriate maintenance law.

Vice President, “The following American people: The reason for the closure of your government at this minute, the overwhelming majority of the congress republicans-and even a few moderate Democrats supported the opening of the government, the Democratic Party’s Chuck Schumer-Aoc wing closed the government,” he said.

Vance said policy disputes should not serve as the basis for protecting the pledge of the Americans. However, the government should be reopened before these discussions occur.

“I would invite Chuck Schumer to join the moderate democrats and 52 Senate Republican.

Some senators, including Democrat Ruben Gallego from Arizona, discover a two -party offramp from the crisis, including a potential solution that will re -open the government for about a week to negotiate.

This option is on the table, even though it is less than 24 hours to close, but some democrats think that Trump is a short -term solution due to being willing to negotiate with the democrats in good faith.

“This really depends on whether the president will try to solve and negotiate this conflict, Sch said Schiff, Sch Schiff said. “He will continue until he makes the decision that wants the closure to the end.”

Vance described two demand categories from the democrats of the Congress: those who want to enable the administration to enter into a speech on critical issues such as health services, and those who refuse to re -open the government until each request is met.

“We just write these people because they don’t negotiate with good faith-and frankly we don’t need it,” he said, democratic-John Fetterman (D-Pa.), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) And Angus King (I-Main).

“Three moderate democrats joined 52 republicans last night,” he added: ız We need five more to reopen the government, and this is where we will really focus. ”
