Americans Blame Both Parties as Government Shutdown Hits Day 17 with No End in Sight
The government shutdown has entered its 17th day, with both the Democratic Party (United States) and Republican Party (United States) facing blame as negotiations stall in the United States Senate.
- On Thursday, the United States Senate failed to pass a spending bill for the 10th time, largely due to opposition from the Democratic Party (United States).
- President Donald Trump and Party leaders of the United States House of Representatives have labeled the shutdown a Democrat shutdown, intensifying political tensions.
- John Thune, a prominent Republican leader, criticized the stalemate, emphasizing the need for negotiations to address issues like health care funding and budget subsidies.
Why It Matters
The ongoing shutdown reflects deep partisan divides within the United States Congress, impacting federal services and highlighting the urgent need for bipartisan cooperation to resolve budgetary issues.
