President Joe Biden on Tuesday blamed House Republicans for a looming government shutdown.
"Folks, I want to take a minute to explain to you what's going on in Washington right now," Biden said in the video posted to X. "In just about a week, we could be facing a government shutdown if Republicans in the House of Representatives don't do their job. There's no reason for us to be in this position.
Biden then placed the blame squarely on the shoulders of House Republicans, saying he's "prepared to do [his] part," but "the Republicans in the House of Representatives refuse." Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., has been holding up military promotions over a Pentagon policy that gives service members and their dependents paid time off to have an abortion. The policy also covers abortion-related travel expenses.
"It's time for these Republicans in the House to start doing their job — doing the job America elected them to do," Biden said. "So let's get it done. We have time."
