J.D. Vance: ‘The Democrats Just Voted to Shut Down the Gov’t

Reporter: “Mr. Vance, will you accept any deal that does not include a debt limit increase?”
Vance: “Look, I’ll say one thing. The Democrats just voted to shut down the government, even though we had a clean CR, because they didn’t want to give the president negotiating leverage during his first term — during the first year of his new term. And number two, because they would rather shut down the government and fight for global censorship. They’ve asked for a shutdown and I think that’s exactly what they’re going to.”
Reporter: “38 Republicans voted against it, as well.”
Reporter 2: “What’s the path forward, Mr. Vance?”
Reporter: “Are you meeting with Speaker Johnson tonight to regroup?”
