SHE COMMENTED ON DEMOCRATIC MINORITY LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER’S THREAT TO LET A SHUTDOWN HAPPEN IF A CHANGES AREN’T MADE TO A HOUSE PASSED BILL TO FUND THE GOVERNMENT:
SHUTDOWN5 OC……COME TOGETHER. :18
ERNST SAYS TALKS WILL RAMP BACK UP IN LESS THAN A WEEK:
SHUTDOWN6 OC…….A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN 2X :12
ERNST SAYS THAT A SHUTDOWN, EVEN TEMPORARILY, WOULD BE COSTLY:

THE GOVERNMENT WILL SHUTDOWN SEPTEMBER 30TH WITHOUT A NEW FUNDING DEAL.
A FUNDING BILL NEEDS 60 VOTES TO PASS THE SENATE.
