White House 'using shutdown as excuse' for firings, Dem says

Season 2025 Episode 275 | 8m 25s

On the second day of the government shutdown, party leaders are not budging, and President Trump is increasingly threatening Democrats and taking aim at Democratic-led states. To discuss the Democratic perspective on the shutdown, Geoff Bennett spoke with Shalanda Young, the director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Biden and now a distinguished scholar at NYU Law.
