Ex-GOP congressman: Trump, MAGA mock divided Democrats
Former Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger criticized Democrats after President Trump praised Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer for supporting a Republican-led funding bill. Kinzinger suggested that Trump and his supporters are mocking Democrats for their division. Schumer acknowledged the GOP bill's flaws but argued that a government shutdown would be worse. He expressed concerns about giving Trump and Elon Musk unchecked power during a shutdown. The current funding debates highlight the political strength of Republicans, who now control the White House and Congress, while Democrats struggle to unify against the Trump administration's agenda.
