I went on CNN to tell the truth about this shutdown.
Did you catch my interview with Jake Tapper on CNN last week?
I joined The Lead to discuss the government shutdown — and make it clear who’s responsible.
Because, despite what Republicans and some in the media want you to believe, this shutdown was created by the GOP, period.
Republicans had all year long to extend ACA tax credits — and refused. Now, thousands of Delawareans are furloughed, and thousands more are receiving letters notifying them of skyrocketing premium costs.
So when Jake asked me why Democrats won’t just make a handshake deal to pass the MAGA funding bill, and hope Republicans keep their word and fix ACA subsidies before they expire — I didn’t mince words.
We cannot trust Republicans to end a crisis they started. This is a shutdown they manufactured to raid Americans’ health care so they can fund tax breaks for their billionaire donors.
Many seem to forget that Republicans have total control of D.C. right now — if they actually cared about keeping the government open and protecting access to care for millions of Americans, they would have done it by now.
But as long as Republicans control the House, they’ll keep manufacturing chaos and gutting lifelines for working families to help the rich get even richer.
I’m not backing down — but to keep fighting back, go all in on flipping the House in 2026, and hold Republicans accountable, I need your support.
Grassroots donations allow me to stay laser-focused on re-opening the government, holding the line for healthcare, and making sure Republicans don’t get away with this.
If you’re able to — I’m asking that you chip in $5 or anything else you can give to back up our fight.

Thank you so much for your support.
