Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said Thursday that Democrats bear the blame for the pain of a government shutdown, as President Donald Trump and his budget chief moved forward with identifying federal programs to cut.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the way the system works. This is [Senate Minority Leader] Chuck Schumer\u2019s decision, is to hand \u2026 the keys to the kingdom to the president,\u201d Johnson, R-La., told reporters. \u201cHe has put himself in that situation, and it\u2019s completely unnecessary. The president takes no pleasure in this.\u201d<\/p>\n

The government entered its second day of a partial shutdown after Senate Democrats refused to provide the votes necessary to advance a seven-week stopgap funding bill. Without the measure, agencies have begun contingency plans, delaying payments and preparing to reduce operations, The Daily Signal\u00a0reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Johnson\u2019s remarks came hours after Trump posted on Truth Social that he would meet with Office of Management and Budget director Russ Vought, calling him \u201che of PROJECT 2025 Fame,\u201d to discuss which federal agencies and programs should face cuts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a meeting today with Russ Vought \u2026 to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent,\u201d Trump wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity. They are not stupid people, so maybe this is their way of wanting to, quietly and quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
