Senator Eric Schmitt, a Republican representing Missouri, posted several statements on his social media account addressing recent political developments and international affairs.
On October 3, 2025, Schmitt commented on the situation in Israel, stating: "President Trump has stopped another war. Incredible. The peacemaker-in-chief.
I’m happy for Israel, the hostages, and their families who will reunite after two years of unimaginable horror. Their resilience and strength in the face of barbarism is remarkable."
Later that day, on October 4, 2025, he addressed ongoing budget negotiations in Congress: "There is one path forward to end the Schumer Shutdown.
Democrats stop grandstanding and vote for our clean, nonpartisan funding bill."
In a subsequent post on October 4, Schmitt criticized the Democratic Party’s approach to President Trump: "The Democrat party has been captured by the radical left.
They are obsessed with fighting President Trump at every turn, even at the expense of the American people."
These posts reflect continued partisan disagreements over federal funding and foreign policy. Schmitt’s reference to a "Schumer Shutdown" alludes to government shutdowns often attributed to legislative gridlock between parties over budget issues. His comments also come amid heightened debate about U.S.-Israel relations following hostage crises in recent years.
