The Democratic Party is hurt the most by the federal government shutdown.
Delaware Democrat and U.S. Sen. Chris Coons, in an interview, admitted that the shutdown is taking place because the Senate refuses to vote to break the 60-vote filibuster requirement because that is the only weapon the Democrats have to fight the Trump administration.
The Democratic Party, in its quest to return to power, has clearly demonstrated that it does not care how much its members hurt struggling citizens in the process.
