This is big!

The CEO of United Airlines just held a press conference with JD Vance and others in the Trump Administration calling for the Government Shutdown to be ended.

While he claims he wasn’t picking a side, he chose to do the presser with JD Vance and then told the Democrats to sign a clean CR to reopen the Government.

In other words, side clearly chosen!

The Democrats are losing so badly!

Watch here:

TRANSCRIPT:

Speaker 1:

Uh, really thanking the professionals — the air traffic controllers, the folks at the TSA. Also, the FAA, the people in management.

Uh, they’re working hard. They are keeping the skies safe. They’ve minimized delays.

Fewer than 2% of flights have been delayed so far because of air traffic control shortages, so they’ve done a great job.

Uh, but it’s putting stress on people. It’s not fair to those people.

It’s also putting stress on the economy. You know, the first couple of weeks, it’s had no impact on the economy, but as every day goes by, the impacts start to grow.

And airlines are a pretty good real-time indicator of the economy.

And we start to see — still minor, but steep — booking impact, and you see that happening to the economy. We put the whole economy at risk.

And so, uh, it’s been 30 days, and while I don’t have a position on which partisan side, uh, and how things should be settled with healthcare, it has been 30 days.

I also think it is time to pass a clean CR, use that as the opportunity to get into a room behind closed doors, and negotiate hard on the real and substantive issues that the American people want our politicians on both sides of the aisle to solve.

Uh, but let’s get a clean CR and get that negotiation done, uh, behind closed doors without the pressure and without putting the American workers and the American economy at risk.

Speaker 2:

Hear, hear. Great.

Okay, guys, we’ll take a few more questions.
