President Joe Biden’s campaign has accused former President Donald Trump of pushing for a government shutdown, without regard for the potential impact on American families. The allegations surfaced on Wednesday, The Hill reported.

Trump is encouraging Republican lawmakers to leverage the impending government funding deadline to withhold funds from the Justice Department (DOJ).

“Donald Trump is rooting for a government shutdown and couldn’t care less what it would mean for American families. The former president continues to act as MAGA House Republicans’ puppetmaster, now ordering them to shut down the government,” stated TJ Ducklo, senior adviser for communications for the Biden-Harris campaign.
