The Schumer Shutdown could drag on until at least Friday as members of Congress leave to observe a Jewish holiday.

Vice President JD Vance made a special appearance at the press briefing room on Wednesday to answer questions about the Schumer Shutdown.

The US Government went into a partial shutdown at 12:01 am on Wednesday after the Democrats once again chose illegal aliens over taxpaying American citizens.

Two measures to avert a government shutdown failed in the Senate on Tuesday evening.

Two Senate proposals to reopen the government once again failed on Wednesday.

The Democrats are holding Americans hostage because they want to give healthcare benefits to illegal aliens.

Vance said he doesn’t think the shutdown will last very long.

“I actually don’t think it’s going to be that long of a shutdown. This is a pure guess from the Vice President United States, because I think you already saw some evidence that moderate Democrats are cracking a little bit,” Vance said during Wednesday’s White House briefing.

The Schumer Shutdown is dragging on into Yom Kippur.

Congress is leaving town until Friday to observe the Jewish holiday Yom Kippur.

Senators leaving town until Friday — to observe Jewish holiday — so the government will be shutdown at least until then, but likely longer.
