In response to Donald Trump calling on congressional Republicans to shut down the government, <\/em>DNC Chair Jaime Harrison released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDonald Trump and his MAGA allies are once again putting themselves and their own reckless agenda ahead of the American people. Trump is ordering Republicans to shut down the government and inflict real pain on hardworking Americans across the country because he doesn\u2019t care about the needs of working families, just his own petty political interests. Let\u2019s be clear: Trump and his MAGA Republicans broke a bipartisan agreement and now own any shutdown that comes out of their wildly irresponsible and out-of-touch priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEW: Donald Trump is telling his MAGA minions to shut down the government, breaking a bipartisan agreement. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Bresnahan, Punchbowl News<\/a>: \u201cNew: Trump is telling Republican senators that he is totally opposed to the CR<\/strong> & believes Mike Johnson has mishandling the situation\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lawrence Jones III, Fox News<\/a>: \u201cI just spoke with the President-Elect @realDonaldTrump, and he is \u2018totally against\u2019 the proposed CR<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBC News<\/a>: \u201cPresident-elect Donald Trump excoriated a bipartisan government funding bill Wednesday afternoon, throwing the stopgap measure into chaos just as leaders of both parties were hoping to pass it<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBS News<\/a>: \u201cThe new stopgap measure, with approval from the House, Senate and President Biden<\/strong>, would keep the government funded through March 14, giving lawmakers more time to reach agreement on new spending bills when the GOP controls both the House and the Senate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Americans have repeatedly made clear they don\u2019t want a government shutdown that would affect working families and our nation\u2019s economic stability.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PBS<\/a>: \u201cMost Americans say it\u2019s unacceptable for Congress to use federal shutdown as bargaining chip\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axios<\/a>: \u201cMore than half of American adults say a shutdown of the federal government would affect them personally \u2014 and 68% say the threat of one decreases their trust in the government, a new survey says.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A government shutdown could disrupt the lives of millions of Americans and halt disaster relief funding.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reuters<\/a>: \u201cAll federal employees\u2019 pay could be disrupted during a shutdown, <\/strong>though they would receive retroactive pay once government operations resume.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congressional Research Service<\/a>: \u201cAccording to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the federal workforce is composed of an estimated 2.1 million civilian workers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201cCongressional leaders have struck a bipartisan deal to push the government funding deadline to March 14 and deliver more than $100 billion in emergency aid for disaster relief, House Republican leaders told their conference Tuesday morning.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
