The government will run out of money in a few months. By September 30, without a new continuing resolution, the government could shut down. That’s exactly the drama the Democrats want, as they believe it could boost their chances in the upcoming midterm elections. Right now, they’re not looking good, as they haven’t gained a clear advantage over Republicans on the key issues in the generic ballot. Trump and the GOP might not be doing so well in the polls, but Democrats are worse, and their socialist insurgency isn’t helping either.
