Here was Jeffries.

I love that this is somehow a Republican health care crisis when Obamacare was created purely by Democrats.

It was subsidized increasingly by Democrats.

And so basically, it's a Republican crisis if Democrats can't get the cost curve down.

It's a Democratic crisis because Obamacare is a gigantic fail.

It is a big fail.

It has not made Americans healthier in any measurable way, and it has not bent the cost curve in any serious way.

Meanwhile, Democrats, particularly in purple states, were recognizing that the shutdown was getting worse and worse.

This is a point that was made by the Treasury Secretary on Sunday morning.

He said the impact of the shutdown continues to get worse.

And this is something that the American people are getting very, very tired of is beginning to hit home for people who are not government employees.

People are having their flights delayed.

For example, Sean Duffy, the transportation secretary, he said that even if the shutdown ends, it's going to take a while for these kinks to work themselves through the system.

OK, so again, he's not wrong about this.

And this is what purple state Democrats were feeling.

Now, the problem for Democrats is that we have been highlighting for a while the split in the Democratic Party.

And it is a very real split in the Democratic Party between people who actually want to get things done and people who do not want to get things done between the so-called moderate Democrats, people like presumably Abigail Spanberger in Virginia or John Fetterman in Pennsylvania and the increasingly progressive, wild eyed Democrats.

And so a lot of these Democrats who broke ranks here are coming under significant fire.

According to Fox News, John Fetterman put out a statement saying, after 40 days as a consistent voice against shutting our government down, I voted yes for the 15th time to reopen.

I'm sorry to our military snap recipients, government workers, and Capitol Police who haven't been paid in weeks.
