Scott Bessent: Schumer and Jeffries Driving Shutdown to Protect Poll Numbers, Not the Public

EXCERPT:

BESSENT: “You know, the president, Vice President Vance, Speaker Johnson, Leader Thune, they're not negotiating with Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, they're negotiating with a representative Ocasio-Cortez because she's nipping at his heels. And, you know -- so I the American people are being held hostage by Chuck Schumer's poll numbers.”
