So Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have done it:
The minority leaders in both the Senate and the House and have rallied their Democrat colleagues to not support a Continuing Resolution that would keep the government running.
Senate Majority leader John Thune had put forward what we call a “clean CR”—a clean Continuing Resolution that just allows the government to continue to operate. No pet projects. No pork. Just funding the government as it had been yesterday.
John Thune had said to Democrats, clearly and unequivocally: “Here’s my offer.”
They’ve done it dozens of times in the past where you’ve just got to get to the appropriations process and get that done.
But Chuck Schumer chose a shutdown and that’s why it’s called the Schumer shutdown.
As a matter of principle, this is also a Seinfeld shutdown, because—like a Seinfeld episode—it’s really about nothing.
And: It’s episode that the American people did not ask for.
Democrats should end the Schumer shutdown episode now..
