Democrats are threatening to shut down the government this week unless Republicans spend billions in taxpayer money to pay for healthcare for illegal immigrants.
Democrats think this is a winner.
And you wonder why the left’s approval ratings are in the cellar!
Vice President J.D. Vance spelled this out on FOX News Sunday.
Martha MacCallum: Last question, Vice President. This government shutdown issue looming next week, how do you see this? And are you opposed to a shutdown, or do you think there would be advantages to that potentially?
Vice President J.D. Vance: Well, look, we don’t want to shut down the government, Martha, but it’s really up to the Democrats.
Under our system, you need 60 Senate Democrats to vote for the clean, continuing resolution that the President and House Republicans have put forward.
I think it’s preposterous, Martha. I think the American people really should pay attention to the fact that Democrats are threatening to shut down the entire government because they want to give hundreds of billions of dollars of health care benefits to illegal aliens. I’ve never seen anything like it. I’ve never seen a political party actually advertising the fact that they want to shut down every essential function of government, and they want to use that as leverage so that they get more money for illegal alien health care benefits.
It’s such a stark contrast between Republicans who are trying to put the interests of the American people first, and Democrats who I think would want to take money from the American people to give benefits to illegal aliens.
We don’t want to shut down the government. But if Democrats refuse to just pass this clean, continuing resolution, that’s exactly what’s going to happen. I think the Democrats are going to bear the responsibility for it.
Martha MacCallum: All right, we’ll see what happens. Vice President Vance, thank you very much. Good to have you with us on Fox.

The contrast could not be more clear: Republicans are trying to keep the government open and put the interest of Americans first.
