🎙️ This entire shutdown was a plan without a strategy for success, driven purely by Schumer's desperation to appease an angry base after repeated losses to Republicans. Now, the media is struggling to spin a clear loss as a "win," while Democrats like Sen. Andy Kim still genuinely believe they were fighting a principled fight over Obamacare.
