Leaves are changing color, there’s a slight chill in the air, pumpkin-flavored products are lining the shelves — and canceled events are now another seasonal arrival.
As the government shutdown reaches almost a full month, annual fall traditions are being called off or postponed, and the shutdown holiday blame game has begun, too, with the White House trying to put the onus for travel disruptions on Democrats as the holiday season approaches.
“If the Democrats continue to keep the government closed, we fear there will be significant flight delays, disruptions and cancellations in major airports across the country this holiday season,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at a briefing Thursday. “If Democrats continue to shut down the government, they will also be shutting down American air travel.”
