It’s actually kind of smart for the presidential campaign to push for a government shutdown. Republicans will get blamed, but not Trump specifically.
And everyone looks bad in a shutdown to median voters. The immediate reaction is “just make a deal” which means Biden-Harris admin looks bad too…not as bad as Congressional Republicans but also bad, surely there are people who will (incorrectly) not think Voter ID laws are important enough for all this fuss either way.
Of course, the problem is that the Trump team are being too obvious with it so they WILL be blamed if it happens, now.
Same thing happened with the border bill…would have been genius if it failed without Trump meddling.
