Democratic Priorities and Government Shutdown

• ⚠️ Senator Blackburn asserts that Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, are prolonging the government shutdown due to their focus on healthcare for illegal aliens and maintaining Obamacare subsidies.
• 💡 She argues that Democrats are not listening to the American people, who she claims back President Trump and want the government open.
• 🏥 Democrats are accused of pushing for government-run, single-payer socialist-style healthcare, which Blackburn states Americans do not want, preferring to keep their doctors and have more choice like health savings accounts.
