Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., urged Republicans to maintain cohesion and reject concessions to Democrats during the government shutdown, stating on “Wake Up America” that the party must follow President [Donald] Trump’s guidance. Marshall criticized Democratic tactics, claiming many Democrats “realize it is easier to force a shutdown than to get out of a shutdown.” He emphasized the GOP’s focus on balancing budgets and reducing national debt, calling for unity while dismissing Democratic criticisms of Obamacare as evidence of failed policies. Marshall asserted that Democratic opposition to reforms highlights “overregulation leading to industry consolidation.”
