Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-Va.) said he supports Democrats’ threats to shut down the government if Republicans proceed with a planned rescissions package, saying his party should use all the leverage they can to prevent cuts to previously approved funding.
“I say it’s time to stand up for the American people,” Subramanyam said in an interview on NewsNation’s “The Hill Sunday,” when asked what he thinks about a potential shutdown.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat or a Republican. I mean, I’m hearing from both sides. They’re fed up with this administration, and they want to see some changes, not just in this administration, but even in the Democratic Party,” he continued.
“And, so, yes, absolutely, the time to fight was yesterday,” he added.

"I’m hearing from both sides. They’re fed up with this administration"
Rep Suhas Subramanyam represents both Fauquier County and Loudoun County. I attended one of his Town Halls in Fauquier, where I reside. This area on its face can be called Trump country but has a good share of us Democrats.
I've heard how fed up they are. It's all true.
