Senator Chuck Schumer has indicated a willingness to help advance a GOP-led funding bill, prioritizing preventing a government shutdown over party opposition. He argues that while the continuing resolution (CR) is inadequate, the ramifications of a shutdown would be disastrous for American families and politics. Despite resistance from many Senate Democrats, who view the approach as inadequate, Schumer believes the party can afford to extend support. House Democrats, however, strongly oppose this strategy, underscoring the divisions within the party and the upcoming political landscape for 2026 races.
While the CR bill is very bad, the potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that are much, much worse.
A shutdown would give Donald Trump the keys to the city, the state and the country.
The shutdown is not a political game. Shutdown means real pain for American families.
Those games won't fool anyone. It won't trick voters, it won't trick House members. People will not forget it.
