Fox News: Democrats 'largely fine' with Biden's absence during shutdown talks: 'Little clamor for him to return'

Democratic leaders have not sought Biden's input, focusing instead on White House staff for guidance. This situation highlights a growing perception that while Biden is still in office, Trump and Musk are increasingly seen as the influential figures in the current political landscape.
