Vice President J.D. Vance said the Democrats’ shutdown strategy probably ended Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s career, accusing Democrats of prioritizing demands he called extreme. The article presents Vance’s criticism without a response from Schumer or another Democrat.
On Fox News’ “Hannity,” Vance said Schumer had fought harder than anyone to keep the government shut down and predicted the episode probably ended his political career. Vance also called the shutdown “disgraceful” and “revealing” for Democrats.
Vance said Democrats sought $1.5 trillion, including funding for health care for undocumented immigrants and NPR and PBS, and wanted to reverse border policies. He said private conversations had taken place and credited some moderate Democrats with allowing “reason to prevail.” These claims and characterizations are Vance’s; the article does not include a response from Schumer or other Democrats.
