Senator Kevin Cramer, U.S. Senator from North Dakota, posted a series of statements on November 4, 2025, addressing recent political events and reflecting on the legacy of former Vice President Dick Cheney.

In his first post at 16:56 UTC, Cramer paid tribute to Cheney, stating, "Vice President Dick Cheney was the definition of a public servant and leader who served our nation throughout his distinguished career. Kris and I are praying for his family and loved ones."

Later that day at 17:51 UTC, Cramer discussed ongoing political developments in an appearance on Newsmax. He wrote, "I joined @NEWSMAX to discuss the Schumer Shutdown, Jack Smith’s egregious 'Arctic Frost' probe, and more. Real people are being affected in real ways by the far-left fringe’s demand for a shutdown, and Democrats are caught in a really tough spot. I believe after today’s https://t.co/4OXDqh6eS8"

At 18:34 UTC on the same day, he commented further on the government funding impasse. Cramer stated, "Democrats can say elections have nothing to do with the Schumer Shutdown, but I think they have a lot to do with it. They can’t win an election without their radical left-wing base. It’s all about politics for them."

The term "Schumer Shutdown" refers to disputes over government funding where Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has been criticized by some Republicans for allegedly contributing to legislative gridlock leading to potential shutdowns.

Jack Smith is a special counsel appointed by the Department of Justice who has overseen several high-profile investigations related to federal officials.

Dick Cheney served as Vice President of the United States from 2001 to 2009 under President George W. Bush and previously held various significant positions within government.
