Vice President JD Vance noted that Republicans “don’t want to shutdown government” and that it is “really up to the Democrats” in the Senate. He continued: "Democrats are threatening to shutdown the entire government because they want to give hundreds of billions of dollars of healthcare benefits to illegal aliens." 5:10pm- While speaking with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) broke from his party’s narrative on a potential federal shutdown and explained: “it is always, always wrong to shut our government down.” 5:30pm- Matt Rooney— Founder of SaveJersey.com, State Director of the America First Policy Institute of New Jersey, & host of The Matt Rooney Show on 1210 WPHT (Saturday’s 7pm to 10pm)—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the state of the gubernatorial race between Jack Ciattarelli and Mikie Sherrill. SaveJersey’s latest poll shows Ciattarelli is only down 2-points, meaning the race is a toss-up!
