Vice President JD Vance has slammed Senate Democrats for voting to block a Republican-backed stopgap funding bill aimed at keeping the government open through November 21.
Vance claimed that the “Chuck Schumer-AOC wing” of the Democrats were taking critical services “hostage” unless the Trump administration agreed to everything they wanted.
However, Vance said he did not believe the shut down would be lengthy, as he said he believed moderate Democrats are already “cracking.”
The GOP-bill failed to advance on Wednesday morning in a 55–45 vote, falling short of the 60 votes required to move forward.
The rejection marks another setback in negotiations as the shutdown continues.
