As the three-day government shutdown comes to a close, politicians are still placing blame and deflecting responsibility. CBN's Jenna Browder joins Cheddar to discuss what the next few weeks hold in store as immigration negotiations resume. The Senate reached a compromise that will keep the government funded through February 8th.
Dueling hashtags emerged on Twitter in the aftermath of the government shutdown. Browder discusses #SchumerShutdown vs. #TrumpShutdown, and what the phenomenon says about political branding in the era of social media. The debate on social media was strong enough to even overshadow the NFL Playoffs.
Finally, Browder speaks to why the Stormy Daniels scandal isn't picking up steam in the national consciousness. The Christian Broadcasting Network correspondent speaks to whether the controversy will hurt Trump's support among evangelicals.
President Joe Biden has met with new House Speaker Mike Johnson at the White House. Johnson was joined by Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries as they discussed Biden's request for nearly $106 billion for Israel, Ukraine and other national security needs.
The new leader of one of the chambers of Congress that will certify the winner of next year's presidential election helped spearhead the attempt to overturn the last one, raising alarms that Republicans could try to subvert the will of the voters if they remain in power despite safeguards enacted after the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
