Government Shutdown: Fetterman Blames Democrats

Democratic Senator John Fetterman stated that his party is responsible for the ongoing government shutdown.

"But I would remind everybody, too, this was designed by the Democratic Party to expire at the end of the year. This is not something taken from by the Republicans. That's, they were designed to expire now. Let's have a conversation to extend it and not shut our government down,"

Fetterman expressed willingness to discuss extending tax credits for healthcare, which are set to expire, causing the shutdown. Democrats want these credits extended before November 1.

Senator Fetterman's statement summarizes the situation: Democrats are to blame for the shutdown due to their handling of the tax credits.
