  • See Vance’s comments here

    Vice President Vance urged Senate Republicans at a lunch meeting Tuesday to keep the pressure on Senate Democrats by not allowing votes on legislation to pay SNAP benefits or air traffic controllers during the shutdown, according to Republican senators who attended the meeting.

    Vance urged GOP senators to stick with Thune’s strategy of holding repeated votes on a House-passed continuing resolution to fund the government through Nov. 21.

    His argument, according to GOP sources familiar with the discussion, is that passing “rifle-shot” measures to reopen the parts of the government would take the pressure off Democrats and possibly extend the shutdown.

    Passing such bills in the Senate would also put pressure on the Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to reconvene the House to take up the legislation, further undermining the broader strategy of isolating Senate Democrats during the shutdown.

    Make Americans starve so that we can own the libs. Shortchange the air traffic controllers deliberately so that we can pretend it’s Democrats’ fault. Don’t let any compromise measure pass, because then Johnson will have to let the new Congressperson in and release the Epstein files.
