Incoming Republican Sen. John Curtis expressed frustration on Thursday as the deadline for funding the federal government looms. Curtis stated that there are currently 'no good options' available for the GOP, with members of his own party even calling for a shutdown. He emphasized his discontent with the situation, describing it as 'super frustrating.'
When asked about the best course of action moving forward, Curtis was straightforward in his response, indicating that the decisions made months or years ago have limited the available options. He acknowledged the lack of favorable choices at present.
Regarding the potential consequences of a government shutdown, Curtis made it clear that he does not support such measures. Shutdowns can have far-reaching impacts on various sectors and are generally viewed as disruptive to government operations.
Earlier in the week, a bipartisan agreement to extend government funding seemed to be in progress. However, the situation took a turn when President-elect Donald Trump and his close allies voiced opposition to the bill. This development forced lawmakers to reassess the situation and return to the negotiation table before the impending deadline at the end of Friday.
