The government closure puts democrats under the spotlight instead of Trump this time

This government closure is not the first rodeo of President Donald Trump to sail in a parade in the financing of the government – but this time, the emphasis is less put on the White House because all the eyes are locked up on the Congress and its budgetary impasse.

While the closure of 35 days during Trump’s first term was focused on the president’s priorities to finance a border wall between the United States and Mexico, the current closure does not set up the White House against the Legislative Branch.

Rather, there is a dead end between the Republicans and the Democrats in the Congress on certain health provisions – relieve pressure on the White House and give time to publish Trump to publish videos showing the chief of the Hakeem Jeffries minority, DN.Y., in a sombrero in a clip generated by Ai -Generated stressing the claims of the Republicans.

Here is what Trump wants to reshape the federal government during the closure

This opens the way to Trump to stay behind the scenes during the partial closure, and allowed the Democrats to fall from the consequences, according to the libertarian political columnist Kristin Tate.

“By remaining relatively silent at the moment, President Trump allows Democrats to” own “the closure,” said Tate in an email on Wednesday at Fox News Digital. “The president realizes that if he says that something is conflicting at the moment, the story will be concentrated around his remarks rather than the refusal of the Democrats to support a reasonable expenditure bill.”

“By maintaining a low profile, Trump allows the public to see how democrats act,” said Tate. “Democrats will ultimately endure most of the political consequences of the closure.”

The government started a partial closure on Wednesday, in the midst of an impasse between the Republicans of the Senate and the Democrats on a short -term financing bill to keep the government open until November 21. The Chamber had previously adopted the bill on temporary expenses in September.

Three Democrats in the Senate joined the Republicans to vote Tuesday for the Stopgap financing bill, but the measure did not reach the 60 votes required for adoption.

Meanwhile, Trump and the Republicans said the Democrats were trying to provide health care to illegal immigrants, preventing the government from working. They cite a provision which would repeal part of the bill on Trump taxation and domestic policy – the so -called “large and beautiful bill” – which has reduced the admissibility to Medicaid to non -citizens.

But the Democrats said that Republicans’ claims were false and rather said that they wanted to permanently extend certain subsidies from the Act respecting affordable care which should be launched at the end of 2025.

“They say that undocumented people will get these credits,” said the head of the Senate minority on Tuesday, Chuck Schumer, Dn.y. “It’s absolutely false. He’s one of the big lies they say.”

The closure differs from that during Trump’s first mandate, where Trump and Congress Democrats faced around $ 6 billion in funding for an American border wall in the expense bill for weeks.

In the end, Trump fell in the middle of the growing pressure to reopen the government so that federal employees can regain payment after weeks of pays in a standstill, and signed legislation to temporarily reopen the government without the financing of the border wall.

Matt Wolking, who previously was deputy director of communications for Trump’s campaign in 2020, said that the main difference between this closure compared to the previous one is that the Democrats are the one who asked for a change in politics – not the White House.

“Trump is as engaged as ever – and using humor effectively, of course – and the biggest difference by then is that now it is the Democrats who require a specific change in policy,” Wolking said in a Wednesday e -mail in Fox News Digital. “They voted against the funding of the government because they want health care funded by taxpayers for illegal immigrants, and that is why Trump and the Republicans are well placed to win the battle for arrest messages this time.”

In addition, the republican strategist Matt Gorman said that the Democrats have put themselves in a difficult position because they are those who voted against continuous resolution.

“Times have repeatedly shown over the years that the public supports the financing of the government. They penalize the party which attaches additional political priorities to any bill,” said Gorman, who previously was communications director for the National Committee of the Republican Congress, in an email on Wednesday in Fox News Digital. “You already see moderate democrats have fun. Over this, I expect it to continue.”

Meanwhile, Trump takes advantage of the closure to advance his priorities to reduce the federal government in an unprecedented decision. The White House management office and agencies ordered by the budget in September To establish plans for a strength reduction in the event of a forfeiture of credits.

While federal employees are generally on leave during government closures, the Trump administration plans definitively reduce the size of the federal workforce if a government closure occurs.

“Republicans must take advantage of this opportunity to closure of a democrat to eliminate dead wood, waste and fraud,” said Trump in an article on social networks on Wednesday. “Billions of dollars can be saved. Make America again great!”

Vice-president JD Vance adopted a proactive role in the position of the administration and told journalists on Tuesday that he predicted that the closure would not last long. More specifically, he said that the evidence suggests that moderate democrats “crack a little” because they understand the “fundamental illogical” of the closure.

However, he said that the layoffs were coming. Trump said on Sunday that layoffs “were currently taking place” while thousands of workers’ jobs are still in danger.

“We are going to have to make things work,” said Vance. “And that means that we will have to sort out certain things, it means that some people will have to be dismissed. And we will try to make sure that the American people suffer as little as possible.”

The White House said in a statement to Fox News Digital that each stop has consequences.

“Democrats can reopen the government at any time,” the White House spokesman Abigail Jackson said on Monday.
