White House criticizes Senate Democrats over shutdown hypocrisy
The White House released a video highlighting Senate Democrats criticizing government shutdowns as threats to democracy. This comes as those same Democrats consider rejecting a Trump-backed funding bill that could prevent a shutdown. The House passed the funding bill, which would keep the government running until September. Senate Democrats are now divided on whether to support it or risk a shutdown by Friday. Some Democrats, including Senators Mark Warner and Chris Van Hollen, have indicated they will vote against the bill. Tensions within the party are evident, with reports of heated discussions among Senate Democrats.
