Senior Democrats Push for Government Shutdown to Challenge Trump
Senior Democrats, including Senator Catherine Cortez Masto and Senator John Fetterman, are pushing for a government shutdown. They aim to use this tactic to pressure President Trump into making concessions, opposing Republican plans like 'Project 2025'. This move comes as Democrats face intense pressure from their base to stand up to President Trump's policies.
Democrats' base is desperate for their representatives to show more resistance against President Trump. A shutdown fight could be the only way to appease this deeply unsatisfied base. Democratic candidates running for Senate have urged their party's leadership not to back down from a shutdown. The party's base sees refusing to challenge President Trump as the ultimate sin.
Democratic senators view shutting down the government as a political necessity to push back against President Trump. They are adamant that there will be no spending deal with the President without concrete concessions. Democrats are demanding $1.5 trillion to fund benefits for illegal aliens, woke 'public' media, and reduce funding for rural hospitals.
Despite the overwhelming majority of Americans not wanting a government shutdown, Democrats are driven by their base's demands. They aim to use this strategy to force President Trump into making concessions, with influential party members like Senator Catherine Cortez Masto and Senator John Fetterman leading the charge.
