Fox News pundit to Trump: Reopen the government or it will "cripple" your reelection campaign
Multiple polls have shown President Donald Trumps disapproval rating spiking since the start of the government shutdown, while his normally steady approval rating has noticeably slid.
Reacting to this, Fox News pundit Doug Schoen has penned a column urging the president to reopen the government or face almost surefire defeat in 2020.
With most Americans blaming him for the continued government shutdown, the presidents power to negotiate grows weaker every day, writes Schoen, a Democrat who regularly goes on Fox News to bash his own party. It is obvious now that President Trumps action to shut down part of the government to receive funding for his border wall has backfired. For the sake of his presidency and the country, it is time to reopen the government.
For President Trump to have any chance at winning again in 2020, he will need to end the shutdown immediately and take whatever money the Democrats are now willing to provide, he writes. By doing this, he can say that the shutdown has been a victory because border security has gotten more funding than it previously had.
