There is a growing perception that Republicans are responsible for the government shutdown, which is being blamed for major delays at airports - though that narrative may not tell the full story. Republicans are working to sharpen their strategy and gain the upper hand in the ongoing debate over DHS funding involving both sides. On the Democratic side, calls are growing for Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to step down, with Senator Chris Murphy emerging as a potential replacement. Meanwhile, the U.S. has entered into indirect negotiations with Iran through a third party, and the outcome remains uncertain. One possible resolution on the table involves a transit fee for passage through the Strait of Hormuz, which could play a key role in ending the conflict.
