“Donald Trump is rooting for a government shutdown and couldn’t care less what it would mean for American families. The former president continues to act as MAGA House Republicans’ puppetmaster, now ordering them to shut down the government,” stated TJ Ducklo, senior adviser for communications for the Biden-Harris campaign.

Trump, a leading contender in the 2024 GOP presidential primary, argued that the upcoming deadline is the “last chance to defund these political prosecutions against me and other Patriots.”

The White House has warned of the potential fallout of a shutdown, accusing House Republicans of creating “needless uncertainty for families and businesses.”

It has urged Republicans in Congress to pass funding bills under terms agreed upon during May negotiations.
