On “The Breakfast Club” Wednesday, co-host Charlamagne Tha God urged Democrats to “stop playing politics with people\u2019s lives” and reopen the federal government following several Democratic victories<\/a> in Tuesday\u2019s state and local elections.<\/p>\n

“I feel for all those federal workers who have missed two paychecks already, especially when most of them are living paycheck to paycheck,” Charlamagne said. “People are not getting their SNAP benefits. It\u2019s time to reopen the government. I don\u2019t care whose fault it was. Let\u2019s stop playing politics with people\u2019s lives.”<\/p>\n

Aside from federal workers going without pay and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits being delayed, the radio host also touched on another issue that was exacerbated by the ongoing government shutdown<\/a> \u2014 rising healthcare costs.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s time to open the government back up, y\u2019all. Dems, you had a great night last night. The premiums have already gone up,” he said. “They are set for the year. It\u2019s time to move on. We appreciate the fight, the valiant effort, but come on, man. People got rent due. People got childcare to pay for, light bills, car notes.”<\/p>\n

Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., said on Fox Business’ “The Evening Edit”<\/a> Tuesday that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., privately encouraged Democratic senators to delay reopening the government until after Election Day.<\/p>\n

“Chuck Schumer<\/a>, in a private meeting with other Democrat senators, said that if you\u2019ll just wait till after the election, I\u2019ll release the handcuffs,” Mullin claimed. “I added the handcuffs part, but basically I\u2019m paraphrasing what he said.”<\/p>\n

“The reason why is because they\u2019re afraid their base wouldn\u2019t show up today in Virginia, New Jersey and in New York. So it\u2019s been about politics,” the senator continued. “It\u2019s never been about policy. It\u2019s been about holding the American people as leverage points regardless of the damage they cause to the livelihood of these individuals. But elections are more important than the Dems because they know their polls are at the very bottom than it\u2019s ever been for the Democrat Party.”<\/p>\n

Similar to his comments on Wednesday, Charlamagne urged Democrats on Monday to end the government shutdown, arguing that the party seems to be fighting in a stalemate over issues that have already been lost.<\/p>\n

“The healthcare is going to go up anyway because of the \u2018big beautiful bill,\u2019 because that didn’t include the extension of the tax credits to keep the cost down. So, if it’s going up anyway, what’s the point of Democrats taking the stand to keep the government still closed?” he said.<\/p>\n

Frequent contributor Mimi Brown agreed, noting that people have already been getting letters in the mail about changing healthcare premiums.<\/p>\n

“And the premiums are set for a year,” Charlamagne continued. “So at this point, if the premiums have already gone up, if they\u2019re set for a year, at least give the people some relief, and get the government back open.”<\/p>\n

Charlamagne went on to appeal to Democrats directly, demanding they end the shutdown to bring back programs like SNAP.<\/p>\n

“Democrats, you fought. It seems like you lost the fight. At this point, you know, go on and give it up,” he said. “At least give the people some relief by getting the government back open. Let these people get these SNAP benefits. Let these government workers get their checks. We don’t need all this craziness at the TSA during the holidays. Like, I think you lost … I feel like they lost, it\u2019s over.'”<\/p>\n
