Trump attacks Democrats as shutdown nears record

President Trump, in his first 60 Minutes interview in five years, blamed Democrats for a month-old government shutdown nearing a record and offered no new plan on health care costs. He called Obamacare “terrible” and urged Republicans to end the filibuster. Without federal subsidies, insurance costs under the Affordable Care Act could double. Furloughed workers remain unpaid, active-duty troops work with delayed pay, and millions risk missing November food benefits. Trump said Republicans are voting to reopen while Democrats refuse, predicted they will relent, and rejected talks he described as “extortion.”
