“If you listened to House Republicans on Wednesday, Zohran Mamdani shut down the federal government,” Punchbowl News reports.
“House Republican leadership continually blamed the funding impasse on Mamdani, the Democratic candidate for mayor of New York. It’s the newest GOP talking point with the citywide election less than a week away.”
“This is no more true than when Republicans blamed the continuing shutdown on the recent ‘No Kings’ rally. But they’re running with it.”
