A blame game continues among senior US Republican and Democratic politicians over a government shutdown, which is now in its second day. The Senate minority leader called Donald Trump a dysfunctional president, blaming him for the situation. Republicans, however, blamed the crisis on Chuck Schumer. GOP lawmakers argued that Democrats were blocking extra Pentagon money by keeping the government closed. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell urged Democrats to withdraw their objections to a Republican-proposed spending bill, which would keep the government open until February 8th. Meanwhile, some lawmakers in both parties have expressed hopes of finding a way in a late-night showdown vote to end the shutdown before the start of the work week on Monday.
