Top Republicans in Congress are set to take a significant gamble on shutdown politics, refusing to intervene and potentially preventing military personnel from receiving paychecks despite growing pressure within the party to reconsider their stance. GOP leaders are steadfast in their opposition to funding the government without concessions on issues like border security and immigration reform. This decision is a dramatic step that could have far-reaching consequences for the party and its relationship with the military. The outcome will be closely watched as negotiations between Democrats and Republicans continue.
