Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) appeared on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday, where he expressed his pride in the growing movement aimed at preventing President Donald Trump from continuing his actions.
Booker commented, “I sit with 46 other Senate Democrats, and we are all unified in this effort, working alongside state attorneys general, governors, and the broader American public to stop Donald Trump from violating the Constitution, breaching the separation of powers, disregarding civil service laws, and engaging in numerous other illegal activities. The reason we are consistently winning in court, in front of judges appointed by both Republicans and Democrats, is because what Trump is doing is unlawful, and it must be halted. I am proud to see this movement gaining momentum to stop Trump from causing further harm to Americans.”
Kristen Welker, the host, brought up a topic concerning the upcoming potential government shutdown, asking, “We are three weeks away from a potential government shutdown. Some of your Democrats support shutting down the government to protest his policies.”

Booker responded, “They control the House, the Senate, and the White House, and it’s clear that they want to shut down the government. They’re attempting to shut down agencies like the Department of Education and USAID. They hold the power, and they won the election. It’s up to them to ensure the government keeps running.”
Welker then asked, “You won’t keep it open?”
To which Booker replied, “When the government shuts down, it’s ordinary people who suffer. I am committed to protecting and defending Americans. The way they are recklessly, and truly incompetently, running the government right now is hurting so many people. I will do everything in my power to stop them.”
