Mike Lee Calls Out House and Senate\u200c Leaders Over Potential Government Shutdown<\/h2>\n<p>Sen. Mike \u2063Lee (R-UT) has taken a stand against the heads of both Democrats and Republicans in the House of Representatives and the \u2063Senate\u200d as concerns continue to rise over a possible\u2062 government shutdown.<\/p>\n<p>Lee made a prediction that\u200c in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pentagon-announces-official-end-to-u-s-war-in-afghanistan\/\" title=\"Pentagon Announces Official End To U.S. War In Afghanistan\">final days leading<\/a> up to the potential shutdown, House and Senate leaders would introduce last-minute legislation.\u2063 He even \u2062joked that &#8220;the law firm of Schumer, McConnell, McCarthy,\u2062 and Jeffries&#8221; would demand a quick vote \u2063from Congress, which drew laughter from those around him.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;ve got to pass this thing, and if you don&#8217;t, there will be a shutdown,&#8221; Lee emphasized. &#8220;If there&#8217;s\u200b a shutdown, we \u2063will blame you \u200cfor that,\u2063 but hey, vote how you want. You will have no opportunity to amend this. You will have no opportunity to read it,\u2064 to understand what&#8217;s in it, to share it\u2064 with your \u200dconstituents, to object to it, to improve it, \u2062to cut it!

The Senate cleared \u200dthe \u200bfirst procedural hurdle by a\u200d vote of 85-12, with all 12 &#8220;no&#8221; votes coming from Senate Republicans.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) claimed on Sept. 3 that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) \u200bis attempting to instigate a government shutdown to help him \u200d&#8221;hang on to\u2062 the U.S. \u2063Senate&#8221; leading into 2025, the \u2064next major\u200c election year \u2062for \u200cthe United States.<\/p>\n<p>The potential government shutdown could also pose a\u2064 hurdle for House Republicans as they pursue the impeachment of President\u2063 Joe Biden, a move that many Republican lawmakers, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), have called for. On Tuesday, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy\u200b (R-CA) announced that the House would initiate an impeachment inquiry into Biden, deeming it \u2063the &#8220;logical next step&#8221; in House Republicans&#8217; investigation into the Biden family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
