<p>With Democrats threatening to force a partial government shutdown, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is being confronted with a warning he delivered just last year.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Rapid Response&#8221; account on X for President Donald Trump&#8217;s White House posted on Thursday a &#8220;flashback&#8221; clip of Schumer&#8217;s remarks from September — when the top Democrat pinned a potential shutdown at that time on Republicans.</p>
<p>&#8220;If the government shuts down, it will be average Americans who suffer most. A government shutdown means seniors who rely on Social Security could be thrown into chaos &#8230;&#8221; Schumer said.</p>
<p>&#8220;So what changed, Chuck?&#8221; the White House account asked.</p>

<p>Earlier this week, the GOP-led House <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-passes-funding-patch-win-trump-speaker-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> another continuing resolution to avert a partial government shutdown by the end of this week — in which non-essential federal employees will be furloughed — and keep federal agencies and programs funded through September 30. But on Wednesday, Schumer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/schumer-shutdown-looms-as-dems-plan-to-block-gop-spending-patch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declared</a> Republicans &#8220;do not have&#8221; the votes needed to break a filibuster.</p>
<p>A flurry of GOP senators and their allies piled on Schumer in response to the clip posted by the White House.</p>
<p>&#8220;Chuck Schumer should take some advice from *checks notes* Chuck Schumer. Let’s avoid a Schumer Shutdown,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/SenatorHagerty/status/1900189771172905141" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quipped</a> Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN).</p>
<p>&#8220;The Trump Derangement Syndrome continues,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/SenThomTillis/status/1900186205632839886" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Sen. Thom Thillis (R-NC). &#8220;One of the first things Democrats did when they controlled the Senate was to make a failed push to nuke the filibuster because [Joe] Biden was President. Now they are shamefully filibustering and on the verge of shutting down the government to appease their radical base because Trump is President.&#8221;</p>
<p>Elon Musk, who is overseeing the Trump administration&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1900179542771409389" target="_blank" rel="noopener">replied</a>: &#8220;Paging 2024 Schumer …&#8221;</p>
<p>As an alternative to the House spending patch, Schumer has proposed a four-week continuing resolution to &#8220;keep the government open and give Congress time to negotiate bipartisan legislation that can pass.&#8221; However, Republicans control the Senate and are moving forward with the lower chamber&#8217;s bill.</p>
<p>It is possible that leaders reach a deal in which enough Democrats or independents vote to advance the House bill — a three-fifths majority, or 60 votes, will be needed to invoke cloture — in exchange for a vote on the minority&#8217;s alternative measure, potentially as some kind of amendment.</p>
