Later that day, at 19:11 UTC, Smith addressed ongoing political tensions, stating, “The fight over health care is incredibly important, but his shutdown battle is about more than just health care.

At 20:25 UTC, Smith criticized recent actions by the president regarding federal funding decisions: “President Trump is very vocally targeting Democratic projects as retaliation for disagreement. It’s bad governance, and its going to raise costs for people across this country. https://t.co/bIC7cMumrj”.
