Democrats Plan Luxury Napa Retreat Amid Looming Government Shutdown
As the U.S. faces a potential government shutdown at the end of September, both Senate Democrats and Republicans are planning luxury retreats during this critical period. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), chaired by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, is organizing a two-day Napa Retreat from October 13-14 at the five-star Hotel Yountville in California's wine country, with attendees including Sen. Angela Alsobrooks and Rep. Haley Stevens. Meanwhile, Senate Republicans are planning their own October 3-5 getaway at the Sea Island Resort in Georgia, charging attendees $500 to $600, with activities like golf and spa sessions. Critics from both parties have condemned these plans as tone-deaf, especially given the potential disruption to government workers' pay and services during the shutdown. The DSCC has not disclosed the retreat's costs or confirmed if the event would be canceled if the shutdown occurs, while Republicans have not responded to inquiries about their event. These retreats highlight the political tensions and public scrutiny surrounding lawmakers' actions as they navigate a looming government funding crisis.
