John Fetterman on Government Shutdown
Democratic Senator John Fetterman stated that his party is to blame for the ongoing government shutdown.
"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,"
Fetterman expressed his desire to discuss extending tax credits for healthcare, which are set to expire, causing the shutdown.
- Tax credits for the Affordable Care Act expire in December.
- Democrats want the credits extended before enrollment begins on November 1.
- Extension of tax credits is a condition for reopening the government.
