Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., apologized Thursday on behalf of Senate Democrats who have not voted to end the government shutdown.
In an interview with CNNâs Manu Raju, Fetterman lamented that federal workers still are not getting paid and that many Americans may not be able to feed their children because Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits are set to expire due to the shutdown. He apologized for the situation on behalf of his party.
âAnd like I said, to all of the viewers, Iâm apologizing that we canât even get our sâ together and just open up our government,â Fetterman said.
