So the continuing resolution
the House passed
would only fund the government
through November 21
and at this point
we're almost closer
to that date than the
start of the shutdown.
Do you think Republicans
should consider a new CR
with maybe a longer
date behind it?
Well
I think we should
first of all, wait a little bit
and see if the Democrats
will vote to keep
the government open.
I mean, like you just said
Republicans in the Senate
my own Ron Johnson
who voted 12 times
to keep the government open
and it's what is
normally automatic.
So you understand
we are waiting
for a budget
for the calendar year
for the fiscal year
beginning October 1.
Thirteen times
when Joe Biden
was president
the Republicans
helped them out
by keeping the
government open
in similar circumstances
and it didn't
make the shows, right?
So I think a lot of us
still want to believe
that the Democrats
will do what is par for
the course
has been for decades
and just vote
to keep the government open.
No reason not to.
