Majority of voters blame Trump and GOP for shutdown: Poll
Most voters in a new survey blame either President Trump or Republicans in Congress for the federal shutdown, which has now stretched into its second month.
In an NBC News poll, conducted in late October, 52 percent of voters say Trump and/or the Republican Party is responsible for the federal shutdown, including 25 percent who blame congressional Republicans, 24 percent who blame Trump, and 3 percent who say they blame both, even after they were asked to select between the...
Fetterman: Both Republicans and Democrats ‘get hungry’ without SNAP during shutdown
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) on Saturday called the effects of the government shutdown, including Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits not being issued for at least November, "wrong."
Speaking with Lara Trump on Fox News's "My View," Fetterman said he did not care "who's behind" the shutdown, "it's always wrong, and here we are."
"I really led the charge back in March, and we came up with enough votes to keep our government open," Fetterman sai...
Sunday shows preview: Stakes rise as government shutdown enters second month
The government shutdown entered its second month on Saturday, and the stalemate between Republican and Democratic senators could soon see a breaking point as federal food programs stopped issuing benefits to millions of Americans.

He's faced pushbac...
Fetterman leans on fellow Dems to reopen government: ‘This is not some sh—y game show’
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) on Friday criticized his fellow Democrats for repeatedly voting against legislation to reopen the government — a move that has put aid programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) at risk.
Democrats have held firm to their demands for an extension of health care subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in exchange for support on the GOP-led continuing resolution. Now, 32 days since funding lapsed, frustrations are gr...
Greene: GOP shoulders blame for not correcting ACA as health premiums set to rise
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is casting much of the blame for rising health premiums on her own party, arguing Republicans should have reformed the Affordable Care Act, and its expiring tax credits, sooner.
Expiring subsidies in the Obama-era bill have been at the forefront of Democrats' challenge to the House-passed continuing resolution that would reopen the government after funding lapsed more than a month ago.
In an interview Friday with comedian and ho...
Live updates: SNAP benefits in peril as shutdown persists; Obama to stump for Dems in VA, NJ
Federal food aid is on the line as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is poised to run out of money on Saturday amid the ongoing government shutdown.
A federal judge on Friday ordered officials to tap emergency funds for the program and President Trump later indicated that he would follow through.

Trump’s call for end to filibuster faces GOP headwinds
President Trump's fresh push for Republicans to abandon the Senate filibuster is showing little sign of success, even as lawmakers struggle to find a way out of the ongoing government shutdown.
Trump’s call for Senate Republicans to use the “nuclear option” underscores his growing frustration with the government shutdown as it enters its second month. But it faces stiff headwinds from senators in his own party who have been adamantly opposed to getting rid of the ...

Johnson ‘not buying’ polls showing more voters blame GOP for shutdown
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said he’s “not buying” polls that show voters are blaming more Republicans than Democrats for the government shutdown.
“It’s very clear where the blame lies,” he said during an appearance on Fox News's "Fox & Friends" on Friday. “The Democrats admit themselves that they are the ones shutting the government down, and they're having a hard time justifying that.”
He added that he believed “public pressure is building” against De...
