The slow-rolling government shutdown that everyone saw coming is here. What’s harder to foresee is how Republicans and Democrats get out of it quickly.
Parts of the federal government were slated to begin closing down this morning after lawmakers failed to agree on a spending bill last night. Unlike in past shutdowns, each side, at least for now, sees advantages in playing this brawl out.
Republicans, after taking the blame for shutdowns in 2013 and 2018, are eager to turn the tables and blame Democrats for undercutting services millions rely on. And they don’t want to give in to policy demands on what has traditionally been a bipartisan process, funding the basics to keep the lights on.
