A vote on a stopgap funding bill that would prevent a government shutdown is expected to fail in Congress, a consequence that does not sit well with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. NBC News’ Julie Tsirkin explains why House Speaker Mike Johnson is facing criticism from his own party over his resolutions.

#GovernmentShutdown #MitchMcConnell #Politics
Everything they’ve done is BEYOND stupid 😂😂
Stand strong Republicans
Dr Draxx was right
Another stupid Trump idea. Yet McConnell still supports him as candidate???
Of course it’s stupid. But after trump loses, he can blame Democrats for shutting down the government somehow. Which is fine because he can never run again and it won’t matter.
Every female sheep, foreign invader will vote freeeee$$$$$ freeee$$$$$ freeee$$$$$
idiots and wasting tax payer dollars
McConnell is a coward
But how will your puddins know you really really love him if you aren’t willing to do something crazy for him?
Republicans have no interest in governing.
Shut it down , they haven’t
done anything good in last 4 years except spend our money, foolishly.
If McConnell is afraid then we’re on the right track. Let it shut down then run ads about it nonstop in swing states. Be ruthless.
You use that excuse all the time. Shut it down because yet again you will spend money on crap.
Republicans don’t care, they are addicted to power and are not interested in governing the affairs of state
Reality is crashing down on Trump. He knows he is going to prison.
And why is this the only thing that people would remember? I mean this gop led congress has done absolutely nothing and this shutdown would be the straw that broke the camels back? Let them shut it down if that’s the level of stupidity that will wake people up.
Trump admitted to a standard practice of walking in on minors pageant contestants dressing rooms.
These MAGA representatives must get off on causing pain and suffering and they are evil AF.
😂😂😂😂 So silly 😂😂😂
Well, if it’s beyond stupid then you can count on MAGA to do it!
It may be stupid. But consequently likely to happen. These people by definition are stupid.
‘Politically beyond stupid,’ is the definition of this GOP House majority.
I wonder what a shut-down would do to the administration of the upcoming election. Could this be an underhanded way to make it more difficult to count vote, of instance? 🤔
Of course it is a ploy to slow the vote count if not outright stopping it and declaring a “do over!”. We all know that the MAGA morons will be attempting to obstruct the election and cause chaos!!!
“beyond stupid” Now we know they’ll do it.
I kinda hope it happens. That will guarantee NO Republican would win their elections.
Why do republicans love to shut down the federal government and do so much harm to so many people every chance they get???!!! Because they get a rush from the power!!!!! It’s called irresponsibility and immaturity!!!!!
The save act is nothing more than a Republican excuse to purge the voter rolls. It has nothing to do with election integrity as non-citizens are already banned from voting. Vote 💙💙💙 and let’s get rid of the DO NOTHING Republicans in the House.
If it’s beyond stupid, expect trumpnochio and maga to force a shutdown
Mr mumbles himself , vote blue and send him on his way
Donald Trump and his Republican Party are a complete disaster.
Shut it down
Haha, what happens to stable genius?
Just goes to prove, the Republican GOP cannot LEAD or govern! VOTE BLUE FOR DEMOCRACY, SANITY AND DECENCY ❤🤍💙🇺🇲
Dont care what mc onnel thinks he’ll be out. Good ridence to the one who helped 45 get off two immpeachments. Now 45 is NOT pres. So for the Republicans to do this ibefore elections is beyond words. Again 45 is looking to cause caous any way he can before elections they have done this before.. we need these kind of people OUT VOTE 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
People make the house blue so this never happens again,, these republicans don’t care about any of you especially there voters
Perhaps it’s politically stupid, but not practically stupid, as maybe they’re afraid We the People may see how little we need of government!
this scarecrow is still around??
Shutdown or not they still get their 14,500 a month
Taylor Ruth Davis Angela Jackson Donald
Stop these wars and be a grown up and pay the debt off
If the government shuts down all the politicians should be the first ones not to get paid
Due to the bill Trump signed in 2019 while he was in office, they will all get back pay once the government starts back up. So they don’t care.
There’s a lot to say about a party wanting a government shut down ahead of an election 🙄
Well if the Democrats would quit spending money we would not be in this mess !
Thomas Kevin Lopez John Davis Donald
Without labeling anyone :
” Religion mixed with politics ” had always been the most hypocritical way to manipulate gullible, non discerning minds !
If it’s beyond stupid they will do it.
Do you know the definition of a Meathead?
I believe a government shut down would be great for the Republicans. It would push the undecided Independents to wake up and vote Democrat. The Republicans spent the last 2 years playing games. Producing next to nothing. The only way America will grow is to to win the 3 bodies of government. Vote Blue.
Mitch McConnell wants conservative judges and tax cuts for the rich, and he’s willing to tolerate hate speech, violence, and harassment within the Republican party to get them. And as a result, threats of violence have been normalized and accepted; what would have been absolutely unthinkable is now a feature of mainstream politics.
They using any case of excuses for helping Trump same if the country gets in serious trouble problems for not doing what is right and the best for the Country.
This is what makes they so weird and crooks against the people and the job they was supposed doing for the people votes they received ..
No danger.. Government never does anything Stoopid…
Mcconnel is apart of the deep state uniparty . He must be impeached and term limits must be imposed . McConnel is as bas as Biden out there looking like a clown just so his insider buddies get the tips that keep bringing in that money .
Government shutdown before the election is pure the stupid thing ever and it will hurt the GOP the most
Republicans committing political suicide just to please trump. How fitting.
Vote blue end the stupidity
Mcconnell still knows what planet he’s on? Amazing
Mc Turtle needs to retire back home in China 🤦
They want to show themselves profitable when they are not.
Name one thing a Republican ever did for you. Name one thing.
McConnell is responsible for Trump and the mess we’re in. He could’ve stopped Trump in 2021 but his spine went AWOL.
Stupid: Harris is in NOW and has caused record high pricing with no hope of it ending!! Trump’s Tax Cut and Jobs Act put US first and and he kept our prices low!! In 2020, Harris voted against cutting taxes for middle-class families! Who is that helping? Not the middle to lower class! She has said “There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking”, now she’s saying she is for it. “Bidenomics is working”- while getting gas and groceries is a struggle! Paying our bills is a tightrope now! Harris says she grew up middle class. Her dad was a professor at Stanford and her mom was a biomedical scientist at Berkeley National Laboratory!- So Not Middle Class!!! Harris is a massive liar that will say anything to get votes! Her actions prove she doesn’t care about us! Harris is actively eliminating our middle class, making it hard for us to get by, even though we are now working more!! If we’re using our heads, we can see Harris has proven over and over she is not for Americans! While our 95% democrat run media getting paid loads of money to gaslight us lies in favor of her!
McConnell knows a lot about shut-downs. He’s had a couple himself.
Well what’s the surprise they been refusing to check to Trump he has the final word on anything the GOP does
Here we go again not passing bills to help the country because they’re waiting for Trump
They are pushing for a dictated country they don’t know what they’re asking for it may not work for us but eventually it won’t work for them either but by that time it’s too late
And I thought he retired they refuse to give up their seat and move forward
Time for POTUS to mint another one of those trillion dollar coins. 😁😁
Well mcconnell, you can take responsibility for this crap thanks to your underhanded way you’ve created a republican threshold. Basically hate filled racist white communities.
McConnell has been brought from the dead
Donald trump…politically beyond stupid! Too bad you did everything you could to support stupid. Right Mitch?
McConnell is a traitor. Go home old man.
Stupid is Moscow Mitch rolling over to the orange jester all these years
If the Republicans shutdown the government they will guarantee that they will lose the House.
Taylor Jessica Taylor Sarah Lee John
He’s a turtle…
Just in time for the holiday s. THANKS REPUBLICANS…
Clark Jose Williams Gary Davis Nancy
Moscow Mitch doesn’t care as long as his checks from Russian oligarchs clear.
The Republican’s are assuming they will have the numbers are the election. They way they killed the border bill because Trump wanted something to talk about in his campaign, and now they are looking at a government shutdown, These people don’t care about anything except what their dictator Trump wants, and he is so senile it’s beyond belief anyone follows him and his ravings.
This has nothing to do with spending. The MAGA’S can’t have their own way, so they punish the people.
I agree if they shut the government down
We should vote all the ones who vote against the resolution out.They’re doing nothing for the country
Being politically stupid has never stopped conservatives before
If they do not agree to pass the Voter Verification, then shut down the government! To protect our system from having illegals vote should be something every true blooded American should want and for those that voted against it tells me they WANT TO CHEAT!
Vote 🗳️ Blue No Matter Who.
At least this close to the election, McConnell is speaking some type of truth.
And if this bill doesn’t even make it to President Biden’s desk, no one can blame Democrats.
If the House doesn’t vote to move the bill to the Senate, as the Republicans have the majority, they will be too blame.
Nine days and counting…tick tock…
Mitch McConnell has shown himself to be the definition of a coward. Why waste airtime on this airhead?
I’m guessing the bill, heavily touched by MAGA, was set up to fail then the MAGA will blame everyone about the shutdown. Vote Blue to help kick these 🤡 out 💙
We have a bunch of nuts tunning and ruining our country
“Nobody wants a government shutdown”
Clearly not true. House MAGA republicans would rather that government shuts down than pass a bill that contains anything they don’t want in it and doesn’t contain everything they want in it.
Both sides do this. Fact
@@mhuffman6282lmao you’re out of your mind
@@jimmyrustled2493 nope. Maybe you’re. People panicking over everything
@@mhuffman6282 you need therapy
@@jimmyrustled2493 well I disagree with your assessment of myself….Many people I know disagree ad well….Civic Duty is apparently not in your interest. Opinion doesn’t mean anything….Let the people decide government shenanigans always will be.
Not the end of the world…Government will still have some functioning abilities….Save Act is important…. The voter rolls are full of dead people and non citizens….facts…plus non citizens do vote…even though it’s illegal…..many states know it….They try to keep you in fear over government shutdown
You need therapy
@@jimmyrustled2493 nope maybe you do.
VOTE TRUMP AND ALL MAGA OUT 💙
The republicans have done a lot of stupid things so stupid is not a deterrent for them
This turtle keeps bowing and kneeling to Dems. Remember China Mitch… this is US Taxpayers’ money.
What a basket case Trump is, McConnell is a another basket case ,.
2:22
“Walkman” syndrome.
The fact we are having this conversation anytime near the election is politically stupid.
NBC News/Sen McConnell, Covid pandemic bioterrorism Conspiracy in 2020 is MUCH MUCH WORSE THAN Victim Trump’s 1st and 2nd assassination attempts. Covid pandemic Victims’ Case is related to the Classified Documents Case should not be dismissed. The SCOTUS ruled that Trump has some immunity not total immunity. Covid bioterrorism pandemic the WORST bioterrorist-Crime in Human History since the beginning of the World; needs to be investigated. Judge Cannon, a Trump supporter, should not have dismissed the Classified Documents Case. Discovery evidences related to Trump and his Aides COVID briefings at the White House in November 2019 at night time; (Guests Meeting logs, White House Gates camera videos, emails and phone contacts etc), if THOSE INVESTIGATIONS LEADS-ITEMS are missing, there was a cover-up in COVID pandemic bioterrorism Conspiracy.Trump should have deleted, shredded or trashed away THOSE INVESTIGATIONS LEADS-ITEMS before he left the White House in early 2020, THOSE INVESTIGATIONS LEADS-ITEMS should not be ignored. Covid bioterrorism pandemic have wrongfully killed millions of People in the US and in Worldwide Countries. Covid bioterrorism Conspiracy in 2020 was intentionally masterminded in the shadows by Federation of American-Citizens Scientists (White Jewish Leadership, Republicans, Independents; Edward Snowden Affiliates) and their Associates Worldwide; Spies who Bush Administration awarded spy-Contracts and millions of dollars in 2002 to 2007. Wuhan bio-Lab leakage was not the origin of Covid. Trump and his GOP Allies lied on China as the source of Covid virus, China is a Victim like all other Countries Worldwide which have been affected with Covid pandemic. According to Peter Navarro’s comments in KABC News two weeks after Wuhan Covid outbreak in 2020, he said “we had Coronavirus briefing at the White House in November 2019, we were scared to go to sleep at night after the briefing”. That means Peter Navarro, Trump and others who attended Covid Briefing at the White House in November 2019 possibly at night time; before Wuhan Covid outbreak in 2020, they should have knowledge in Covid bioterrorism Conspiracy in 2020 and the true source of Covid virus but they covered up. The same bioterrorist-Criminals; Federation of American Scientists and their Associates (Chase Security Company Owners; Republicans) masterminded in the shadows Global Mexico H1N1 bioterrorism Conspiracy in 2009, they used Homeland Security Clearances in travelling to Cancun Mexico; that way the Border Authorities couldn’t inspect their carry-on bags or luggages. Let Authorities or the Lower Courts as the SCOTUS explained; investigate in details so that JUSTICE IS SERVED.
The Senate is the heart of the SWAMP
McConnell is the scourge of the Republican party.
Our Government must have been shut down for the past 3 1/2 years since they have NOT done a single thing for country or any of the American citizens. Congress has become a political pathetic joke.
Shut it down. Please walk info a political mistake.
