Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) has declared that his fellow Democrats should “own the shutdown” as the government closure enters its second month.
Fetterman argues that the Democrats must acknowledge that the party bears responsibility for the ongoing stalemate that has left millions of Americans without federal food assistance.
During an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” with Jake Tapper, Fetterman was asked about the lapse of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) on November 1.
The lapse cut off benefits for roughly 42 million Americans, including two million Pennsylvanians.
Tapper framed the issue as a political standoff between the White House and the Trump administration, asking Fetterman who he believed was to blame.
