Sen. Tim Kane (D-VA) said this week's “Fox News Sunday” aired that House and Senate Republicans “struggle” in the face of “many chaos” during negotiations over federal budgets He said that.
Host Shannon Breem said: “The upcoming fundraising battle will end federal funding on March 14th, and maybe you will.”
She added: “Here are two recent headlines: The New York Times. Two Democrat senators said on Sunday they would not rule out their party from enforcing the federal shutdown. The next day, on USA Today There is this headline. Dem says they are open to shutting down the government. In the past, closures are not good for Americans. You talked about Virginia, you are the Federation We talked about military families, a big part of the book. You said this, it's unnecessary for federal employees, government contractors, and millions of Americans who rely on government services. That's what it hurts. So, now that Republicans are in control, should it be a threat, should it be closed this time? Should you use it as leverage?”
“I never use it as a threat. I don't like the fact that Donald Trump is shutting down the government when we talk. You know, he says, “I'm not going to use it as a threat.” They say they want to close and reduce the USAID staff to 250. It's a shutdown not permitted by Congress opposed to the law. I don't like it and we should not ponder the shutdown I think Republicans, as you point out Shannon, they have all three levers. They got the White House and both homes. They got the budget contract. I could grasp it. I could have done one last year, but after the November election, let's wait until 2025, where we have all the levers. We'll do a budget deal. This So far, we see there is a lot of confusion between House Republicans and Senate Republicans. We know where this is heading. The tax cuts are the ones that will soon be coming to the wealthiest people. I saw it on the Budget Committee and they have a hard time getting on the same page.”
