First on the fox: The majority leader of the Senate John ThunRS said.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Thne has argued that the Democrats, led by the leader of the Senate minority Chuck ShomerDN.Y, lacks a real reason for not supporting the extension of government financing in the short term of the Republican Party, unlike the appearance of the “far left”.

Thun said that in March, when Democrats joined the Republicans the last time to keep the government open, Shomer presented and gathered a “completely different argument” about avoiding the closure of the partial government, but this step was unpopular with its political base.

“It has come to the point now where they are base [has] “They got a lot of influence on the party, and they are calling for resistance to everything and fighting everything, regarding the Trump administration, so that they cannot see it directly,” said Thun.

“It is satisfactory to the border. It is like the disease.” “They are only – that this is something they become in, and I think it is really blurring their vision. I think they are at risk with this, again, to put themselves in a position to look at them as a party trying to prevent the government from financing.”

Republicans in the House of Representatives They unveiled their Stopgap bill, known as CR, earlier this week, which would keep the government open under current spending levels until November 21.

The draft law “clean”, which means that there is no party policy or passengers of spending, with the exception of millions allocated to enhance security measures for legislators, the judicial branch and administration, and funding for Washington’s DC budget.

While the Republican House of Representatives is expected to pass on the draft law on Friday, the Senate is a different story. Despite the leadership of the majority in the Upper Chamber, Democrats in the Senate will need to support the draft law. So far, they don’t budge.

Thun claimed that the draft law is all that the Democrats dream-when they control the Senate during the era of former President Joe Biden-from: a short-term clean bill. But the issue now raised is a matter of communication.

Shomer Thun was accused of not talking to him, or Democrats in the Senate On a broader scale, on the draft law, it was described as the Republican Party to avoid the partial government closing a party effort led by President Donald Trump.

But Thun said he tried to speak to Schumer last week when the Republican Party was preparing to change the Senate bases of the explosion through the Democrats of Trump.

Thnee went to Schumer on Earth to discuss the exciting talks at the time between Republicans and Democrats in a deal since then for assurances, but he recalled that the democratic leader has unloaded him.

“He could not get out of the conversation quickly,” Thun said. “It was, like, running from the ground. So, I mean, there was definitely an opportunity to say,” We need to sit and speak, as you know, and how to finance the government. “I only think this is a more political situation.”

“This is the way you are supposed to work. But the way Shomer loves to work, and I think this, again, is part of his business model, do you go to his back office, behind closed doors and write this, as you know, in the darkness of the night, and this is not the way we practice our business.”

Thun said that some of the issues that Democrats were pushing with a short -term extension “do not match there”, but the talks, especially about finding a health care tax credit credits, could be later.

However, the Democrats were looked at as “dangerous”, given that the ultimate goal of the short-term extension is to pass dozens of spending laws to finance government-an achievement that has not been withdrawn in Congress since the 1990s.

The House of Representatives and the Senate are currently working on the front for three bills for spending, which have already been approved. Thun expressed his hope that if legislators can avoid partial closure, this work may continue with the remaining nine financing bills.

“This will test the seriousness of whether or not they really want a real credit process, and whether they want to have a way from the two parties to finance the government,” Thun said.

“If the Democrats grant us approval to obtain them and work with us, we may have an operation from the two parties on the ground as we did with these three other, and we can finance most of the government in the old way, which is the method that is supposed to be done.”

But before any of this happens, the draft law must make its way to the upper room. The fruit of the door is left open to the Senate to work on the weekend, but the deadline on September 30 is a quick approach.

The Congress also has a comfortable rest next week to monitor the new Jewish year, and it will be the vast majority of Republicans in Arizona for the conservative activist Charlie Kerk Soufter service.

There are also many procedural obstacles in the Senate that will be dealt with, which increases the disruption of the process. In the end, Thun believed that it would be “left to the Democrats.”

“If they want to make a vote sooner, and later, our members again – if the Democrats will fight us and make us do so in the difficult way – they may only decide, let’s put this only for the voices.” “When we go back here, we face the deadline, when it becomes real, then we use live ammunition.”

Fox News Digital continues to comment, but he didn’t hear immediately.
