Fetterman says fellow Democrats 'really need to own this shutdown' - CNN [View all]

Sen. John Fetterman said today that his Democratic colleagues need to own their role in the federal government shutdown as Americans begin to lose food assistance benefits and more federal workers miss paychecks. The Pennsylvania Democrat called it “deeply distressing” that SNAP benefits ran dry for many people this weekend, telling CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” that he refuses “to put 42 million Americans in the kinds of food insecurity.” Fetterman is one of three members of the Senate Democratic caucus who has voted repeatedly with Republicans in support of a stopgap bill to fund the government through November 21.

Jake Tapper discusses the upcoming election with his "State of the Union" panel: Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA), CNN political commentator Ashley Allison, Republican strategist Kristin Davison, and CNN political commentator and former New York City mayor Bill de Blasio.
