Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) issued an apology Thursday on behalf of Senate Democrats for their failure to vote to end the ongoing government shutdown.
In an interview with CNN’s Manu Raju, Fetterman expressed frustration that federal workers remain unpaid and that many families may struggle to feed their children as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits are set to expire.
He said he was sorry for the situation and acknowledged his party’s role in the stalemate.
“And like I said, to all of the viewers, I’m apologizing that we can’t even get our s— together and just open up our government,” Fetterman said,
