CNBC host advises investors not to sell holdings during shutdown fears

CNBC’s Mad Money host Jim Cramer posted on X that he has observed every "faux shutdown" since the Bill Clinton era, emphasizing that history shows investors should buy during times of fear, not sell. His comments came after a spending bill backed by Donald Trump was rejected in the U.S. House of Representatives on Dec. 19, as many Republicans defied the president-elect, fueling concerns of a potential government shutdown.
