Government Shutdown: Fetterman Blames Democrats
Democratic Senator John Fetterman stated that his party is responsible for the ongoing government shutdown.
In a town hall hosted by NewsNation's Chris Cuomo, Fetterman expressed his willingness to discuss extending tax credits for healthcare, which are at the center of the shutdown fight.
"But I would remind everybody, too, this was designed by the Democratic Party to expire at the end of the year. This is not something taken from by the Republicans. That's, they were designed to expire now. Let's have a conversation to extend it and not shut our government down,"
According to NPR, the tax credits that make Affordable Care Act health care premiums affordable are set to expire in December. Democrats want these credits extended before enrollment begins on November 1 and have made it a condition to reopen the government.
