#666 - Sen. John Kennedy
"Senator Schumer, I think, is going to shut— he's going to refuse to let us do a budget. I think he's going to shut down government. He hates President Trump, does not like President Trump. He thinks by creating chaos it'll help his side in the midterm elections."
As a member of the Appropriations Committee, Kennedy predicted Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer will deliberately withhold budget votes to force a government shutdown before midterm elections. Kennedy stated Schumer believes chaos will benefit Democrats politically and called him extremely animated, comparing him to a five-year-old in a Batman costume who needs to chill out.
