The federal government entered a shutdown this week after lawmakers failed to pass a funding extension before the Oct. 1 deadline. This sparked heated exchanges between Democrats and Republicans, notably sharp criticism from Hillary Clinton and former Vice President Kamala Harris .

Harris, posting on X, placed responsibility squarely on the GOP: “President Trump and Congressional Republicans just shut down the government because they refused to stop your health care costs from rising. Let me be clear: Republicans are in charge of the White House, House, and Senate. This is their shutdown.”
