#shorts On 9/25/2023, during White House Press Brief, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “the White House has made it very clear that it’s on Republicans to avoid the government shutdown, not on the White House. But our latest polling shows that a higher percentage of Americans would actually blame the shutdown on the President and the Democrats, not on Republicans. Why do you think that is? And should the President be out there speaking more on this issue?

KJP: We’re going to be very clear. This is — this is — this will be a Republican shutdown. Right? This is extreme House Republicans who have made it very clear that the chaos that we’re seeing in the — in the House, they are marching us towards a government shutdown that shouldn’t be happening. This shouldn’t be happening. This is the job of Congress. One of the basic jobs of Congress is to keep the government open. A deal was made. I mean, I can’t speak to your polling, but what I can speak is to the facts … we’re going to continue to be very clear about it. And it is — you know, it is something that they can fix, they can fix this.

Reporter: But does it show that the President needs to be messaging more to the public about this?
KJP: I mean, look, the President was very clear
