The shutdown began due to Democrats attempting to tie Obamacare subsidies to government funding, which Republicans opposed until after reopening. York noted that Senate Republicans promised a vote on the subsidies but did not guarantee its passage. He also observed that Republicans are somewhat pleased with the turmoil on the Democratic side but are frustrated and want accountability for the lengthy shutdown. Additionally, York criticized former President Donald trump for dismissing public financial anxieties during an interview, calling Trump &#8220;out of touch&#8221; with the concerns many Americans are facing.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Byron York says Republicans would like &lsquo;price to be paid&rsquo; for government shutdown<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2399957\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><em>Washington Examiner<\/em> chief political correspondent <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/author\/byron-york\/\">Byron York <\/a>said Republicans want Democrats to pay the price for shutting down the government.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans &ldquo;are hoping, I think, that it would move the needle with voters a little bit,&rdquo; York said on Fox News&rsquo; <em>Special Report with Bret Baier<\/em>. &ldquo;Not all the way until next year&rsquo;s midterms, but at least in the short term.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/business\/3887384\/union-pacific-and-norfolk-southern-shareholders-back-85-billion-railroad-merger\/\">Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern shareholders back $85 billion railroad merger<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/state\/3887322\/nevada-democrats-look-to-hijack-trumps-no-tax-on-tips-policy\/\">Nevada Democrats look to hijack Trump&#8217;s &#8216;no tax on tips&#8217; policy: &#8216;Temporary crumbs&rsquo;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3887351\/cost-bureaucracy-exploded-under-biden-open-the-books-report\/\">Cost of bureaucracy exploded under Biden, report shows<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<div style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 640px; max-height: 360px; min-width: 320px; min-height: 180px; overflow: hidden;\">\n<div style=\"position: relative; width: 100%; padding-top: 56.25%;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/share.grabien.com\/share?id=3235406&amp;userid=11311&amp;loginid=9421&amp;playercolor=%23000000&amp;playersize=auto&amp;code=3b9641e6e8055310868e70dbe3a8884d\" style=\"position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; border: 0px;\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The government reopened this week after <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/shutdown-relief-coming-soon-house-votes-to-reopen-government\/\" title=\"... relief coming soon: House votes to reopen ...\">43-day shutdown<\/a>, marking the&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3886826\/longest-government-shutdown-poised-most-costly\/\">longest&nbsp;<\/a><\/span>in history.<\/p>\n<p>The shutdown began because Democrats wanted to attach <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3885355\/funding-restrictions-abortions-extension-obamacare-subsidies\/\">Obamacare<\/a> subsidies to a measure to keep the government open.
