Evening Edition: Shutdown Begins to Affect Government Agencies
Episode description
President Trump says the government shutdown is threatening food benefits for millions that use food stamps. Also, TSA callouts are mounting which is expected to cause heavy delays as holiday travel begins to surge. Democrats have said they would not accept any federal funding bill that does not also include an extension of Obamacare subsidies that were enhanced during the COVID-19 pandemic and Republicans argue Obamacare has failed to reduce the deficit saying its costs have skyrocketed. Meanwhile, a pardoned January 6th rioter was arrested for threatening House Minority Speaker Hakeem Jeffries.
FOX’s Ryan Schmelz speaks with Chad Pergram, FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent, who says things will change when members of Congress themselves start being affected.
