WASHINGTON – Democrats are bragging about shutting down the government, threatening CHIP funding for 8.9 million children nationwide, cutting off funding for our troops and hurting our seniors by taking away the programs they have earned and deserve. Red state Democrats who go along with the Schumer Shutdown after warning about a government shutdown’s consequences for years are going to have a lot of explaining to do to voters back home.
“Red state Democrats are making it clear they’re willing to sacrifice the well-being of kids, seniors and troops in order to push Schumer’s disturbing political game,” said NRSC Communications Director Katie Martin. “Voters in states like Missouri, Montana and the other states carried by President Trump will not be so kind to the folks who vote to shut down the government come Election Day.”
