Radio host Charlamagne tha God said during an interview on Monday that Democrats are losing the shutdown-messaging battle.
"I read a poll this morning that said, you know, a lot of Americans are starting to blame Democrats for the government shutdown. And it's just simply because Republicans are better at messaging than Democrats will ever be," Charlamagne told MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace during her podcast, "The Best People."
The government has been shut down for over three weeks. Democratic lawmakers are demanding an extension to expiring Obamacare subsidies, as Republicans hope to pass a seven-week extension of fiscal year 2025 government spending levels, called a continuing resolution.
