by Ashleigh Fields
Charlamagne Tha God urged Senate Democrats to reopen the government, citing citizens dire needs amid the federal shuttering.
The radio host said during a Wednesday segment of The Breakfast Club that the party needs to abandon the fight to extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium subsidies to ensure that federal workers receive pay.
Dems, you had a great night last night, Charlamagne said referring to the partys Tuesday election wins.
The premiums have already gone up. They are set for the year, he added. Its 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.

While I understood why, Kamala Harris should have never engaged with him then, and he will continue to be a thorn to a small yet needed voting population in the future.

(84 posts)Charlemagne has been around since the 90s, and as a syndicated show, he was a staple in many homes on the morning ride to work. He became more polarizing, though, after engaging in politics. He was better off sticking with his entertainment format and leaving politics alone because, prior to this 2024 election, he was unengaged and an uninformed person.

(2,295 posts)Dems did propose a bill that would cleanly fund the government as the GOP wanted if the health care subsidies got funded for 1 year. The GOP shot it down. At this point the only side presenting ideas is our side
