"Hakeem Jeffries: GOP Budget a āNon-Starter,ā Every Single Democrat Will Oppose It
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) claimed Sunday on ABCās āThis Weekā that the Republican budget was a ānon-starterā and would receive opposition from every Democratic lawmaker.
Host Jonathan Karl said, āGovernment funding runs out in less than a month now. Weāve seen over the past two years, Republicans cannot or have not been able to pass government funding without Democratic support. Some of your supporters on the outside are saying you should use as leverage, the possibility of a government shutdown to push back at some of what the Trump administration is doing right now. What will you need from Mike Johnson and from the Republicans to agree to go along with efforts to fund the government?ā
He added, āWhat we have been clear about is that this budget that is working its way through the House of Representatives is a non-starter. Every single Democrat opposed it a few days ago, and I believe that will continue to be our position because itās out of control.ā"

Why does this Democrat want to shutdown the federal gov't? I thought they think a closed federal gov't endangers the people who depend on the govt.
