As the Schumer Shutdown enters its third day, a video clip from a 2019 Democrat debate has gone viral.

The clip comes from the 2019 Democratic presidential primary went viral when the candidates were asked if they support providing healthcare to those in the country illegally.

"Raise your hand if your government plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants," NBC News anchor Savannah Guthrie asked while moderating the June 2019 debate followed by all ten Democrats on stage raising their hands.

The clip, which included multiple current members of Congress like Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y. and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., also got the attention of billionaire Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who posted "lol" in response to the debate video, which means "laugh out loud." You can watch the video below.

The Senate is expected to vote again on re-opening the government Friday. But, it is not expected to change anything.
