House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) issued a warning this week, stating that a government shutdown could occur if President Biden remains passive on the issue. McCarthy conveyed this message in a post on X, emphasizing the potential repercussions of the President’s inaction.
He remarked, “If President Biden stays on the sidelines while our border is being consistently compromised, a government shutdown is imminent.”
McCarthy further highlighted the consequences of what he views as a lack of leadership, citing examples such as strikes in California and Michigan and the evacuation of embassies worldwide. He shared a clip of his response to reporters to underscore his point.
