The current federal shutdown continues to drag on as Democrats in the Senate stubbornly cling to the filibuster rule, preventing Republicans from passing a spending bill with a simple majority. President Trump has rightly called for an end to this obstructionist tactic, which is blocking the government from reopening and getting back to serving the American people.
By refusing to drop the filibuster, Senate Democrats are putting their partisan agenda ahead of the needs of hardworking taxpayers. They would rather score political points than allow the free market to thrive and the economy to grow. This shutdown is a direct result of their unwillingness to embrace common-sense, fiscally responsible solutions.
It's time for the Democrats to put aside their resistance and work with Republicans to find a path forward. The American people elected President Trump and a GOP majority in the Senate to implement policies that respect individual liberty, limited government, and free enterprise. Continuing to block progress through procedural tricks like the filibuster goes against these core constitutional principles.
Ending the filibuster would break the gridlock and allow the Senate to pass a spending bill that funds essential government services while protecting taxpayers and promoting economic growth. It's a simple majority vote - a basic tenet of democracy that the Democrats seem intent on undermining.
The longer this shutdown drags on, the more harm it does to the country. It's time for the Democrats to stop playing political games, drop the filibuster, and work with Republicans to reopen the government. The American people deserve nothing less.
