Today marks Day 28 of the ongoing government shutdown, and thousands of federal employees continue to work without pay. Despite this crisis, President Trump appears to be focused elsewhere — reports indicate that his top priority remains completing a $250 million, 90,000-square-foot East Wing Ballroom at the White House.
Meanwhile, in an Associated Press interview, former Vice President Kamala Harris addressed her political future, saying:
“Running again for president is still on the table. I haven’t decided yet.”
As Americans face furloughs and delayed paychecks, the contrast between the shutdown’s human impact and lavish White House construction is sparking major public frustration.
