"I do know that Democrats have been under a lot of pressure from the far left. The far left pushed them to shut down the government. And the far left has pushed them to keep it shut down. As one House Democrat told Axios yesterday, and I quote there would be hell to pay if Senate Democrats don't let events play out' end quote, he said."
"Mr. President, what events need to play out? What more needs to happen for the far left to be satisfied? The pain this shutdown has caused is only getting worse: 40 million Americans who rely on food assistance programs are at risk of going hungry without a resolution to the shutdown. I'm sure these Americans are doing everything in their power to feed their families but they can't do that forever. Federal workers have now gone without pay for more than a month,"
The government shutdown reached its 37th day, becoming the longest in U.S. history. Republicans say they remain willing to negotiate while accusing Democrats of holding the federal government hostage under pressure from the far left. An anonymous House Democrat was quoted as saying "there would be hell to pay if Senate Democrats don't let events play out." The shutdown threatens 40 million Americans who rely on food assistance programs and has left federal workers unpaid for more than a month. Concerns were raised that federal workers and military families could need food banks for Thanksgiving if the stalemate continues.
