Vice President JD Vance has publicly blamed Senate Democrats and Chuck Schumer for extending the government shutdown, a move that has drawn political fire and raised questions about Schumer’s future in politics. The accusations have sparked political turbulence within the U.S., but the impact on crypto markets remains minimal. 45 days ago, Vance says he and other Republican lawmakers met with Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries to strike a deal, which they ultimately rejected. The prolonged shutdown has added to the economic and political uncertainty in the nation, potentially impacting crypto markets and sparking speculation about regulatory scrutiny in the digital finance space.
