With a government shutdown looming as Congress tries to agree on a budget strategy by the end of the month, the countdown to Election Day on, and the race heating up after this week's presidential debate, both topics will likely feature on Sunday talk shows.
House Republicans were unable to agree on Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-Louisiana) strategy to extend the budget by six months, after which he called off a planned vote on the bill in the face of opposition from his own party.
Rep. Tony Gonzalez (R-Texas) will be appearing on NewsNation's “The Hill Sunday.” Gonzalez has recently criticized the Republican Party and said that they will lose the House of Representatives in the upcoming elections.
He criticized the far right and said neither party was serving the American people, and instead “all they're doing is talking about who to impeach.”
Some Senate Republicans have warned against attempts by House Republicans to confront each other over the government shutdown.
Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina is scheduled to appear on “Fox News Sunday” to comment on the looming deadline.
Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), former President Trump's running mate, is scheduled to make several TV appearances this week as the campaign seeks to gain momentum after a debate in which Vice President Harris was widely seen as a winner.
Vance, the Ohio senator, and Trump have faced sharp criticism after Vance emphasized a false claim that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating people's pets. Trump repeated the claim during the debate, and the city is dealing with fallout this week, including bomb threats on City Hall and evacuations of schools.
Vance, who is likely to be questioned about his remarks and the final stretch of the campaign leading up to November, is scheduled to appear on CNN's “State of the Union,” CBS' “Face the Nation” and NBC's “Meet the Press.”
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) is expected to appear on ABC's “This Week” to talk about the increased aid he sent to the city of Springfield after the city ran into trouble following Trump and Vance's comments. DeWine said earlier this week that the internet can be “pretty crazy at times” and that Springfield's immigrant population works “very, very hard.”
Following the debate, Harris continued to campaign in battleground states, attending two rallies in the recently close state of North Carolina.
Her allies continue to spread her message: Gov. Wes Moore (D-Md.) is scheduled to appear on CBS' “Face the Nation,” and Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-Pennsylvania) is scheduled to appear on CNN's “State of the Union” and “Fox News Sunday.”
