Republican leaders met Thursday morning, day 30 of the government shutdown.
"We are now beginning day 30 of the Democrat shutdown, and as there are millions of Americans this morning that are embracing themselves for further pain and hardship, will will highlight some of that this morning," said House Speaker Mike Johnson. "The Democrats incredibly are showing no signs at all that they want to end their shutdown."
He says that because Democrats keep voting to keep the government shut down past the November 1st deadline, millions of American families will struggle to keep food on the table because the SNAP program benefits will run dry.
"It means that WIC assistance, that's Women, Infants, and Children, the nutrition programs will be at risk of running dry. It means that head start centers, which serve 60,000 children nationwide, will be at risk of closure," he said.
