The Left is fracturing. They can’t even agree with each other.
And now a leading Democrat threw in the towel and betrayed everyone.
Charlamagne Urges Democrats to Concede on Shutdown
New York radio powerhouse Charlamagne tha God pressed Democrats to wave the white flag and reopen the government amid the ongoing shutdown.
“The healthcare is going up anyway because the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ didn’t include the extension of the tax credits to keep the cost down. So, if it’s going up anyway, what’s the point of continuing to take a stand for people’s healthcare not to go up?” he declared on Monday’s installment of The Breakfast Club.
Co-host Mimi Brown backed him up, noting that enrollees have already gotten notices from insurers detailing higher premiums since open enrollment wrapped up.
Premiums Locked In—Time for Relief
“And the premiums are set for a year,” Charlamagne continued. “So at this point, if the premiums have already gone up, if they’re set for a year, at least give the people some relief and get the government back open.”
He called out Democratic intransigence on the stalemate.
“Democrats, you fought. It seems like you lost the fight. At this point, you know, go on and give it up,” the host pressed.
“At least give the people some relief by getting the government back open. Let these people get these SNAP benefits. Let these government workers get their checks. We don’t need all this craziness at the TSA during the holidays. Like, I think you lost… I feel like they lost, it’s over.”
“It seems like a pride thing, now,” DJ Envy added.
Fetterman Breaks Ranks, Demands Party Accountability
Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman (D) publicly split from Democrats this week, insisting his party must “own the shutdown” as it stretches into a second month.
The senator highlighted the loss of SNAP benefits for tens of millions as “one of the big reasons” for his defection.
“And again, I feel like the Democrats really need to own the shutdown. I mean, we’re shutting it down,” Fetterman told CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday, as The Daily Wire previously reported.
“I know why they claim — because they want to address the tax credits, and I fully support that. I voted for all of their CRs, our CRs, every single time. And I refuse to put 42 million Americans in the kinds of food insecurity. … All is solved by just reopen[ing] our government and the people are now paid.”
