“Whoever is president will be blamed, in this case, Joe Biden,' Trump said.
Former President Donald Trump speaks at a fundraiser event for the Alabama GOP, Friday, Aug. 4, 2023, in Montgomery, Ala. Former President Donald Trump on Monday urged right-wing congressional Republicans to shut down the government “unless you get everything” in crunch talks.
Trump suggested Democrats close the border with Mexico and stop the investigations into his effort to overturn the 2020 election in exchange for keeping the government open. He cited it as evidence that the former president is siding with him and against House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who is trying to cobble together a deal that can win approval from the deeply divided GOP caucus.Some right-wing Republicans believe a government shutdown might eventually force the GOP-controlled House to enact deep spending cuts along with a grab bag of unrelated MAGA priorities like amping up the impeachment of Biden and rushing troops to the southern border with Mexico.
“The rule is the first step of advancing this blood money in Congress,” Greene tweeted, referring to a procedural step Republicans may vote on later Monday. “I’m a hard no on the rules package and a blank check for Ukraine.”
