Where is Joe? White House pressed on Biden not speaking publicly ahead of shutdown

By Fox News A reporter pressed the White House Friday on why President Biden has not been speaking publicly as government shutdown is now just hours away.  “Why hasn’t President Biden said anything in the public about this?

Here’s what’s in the spending bill that’s drawing the ire of Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy
