North Texas Congressman Marc Veasey on the Government shutdown and what it will take to get federal employees back to work… Sunday on Lone Star Politics at 8:30 a.m.
This Sunday, U.S. Rep. Marc Veasey (D-TX 30th District) is our guest on Lone Star Politics. He talked to us about what he thinks it will take to get the government back open.
"Whenever I go to the store, people ask me when is this going to end. I don't have an answer to that," Veasey said. "What I will tell you is that we have sent the Senate the bills that they passed in the previous Congress, just a few weeks ago, because remember the current Congress just started. And we have sent them the bills and voted on this thing nine times for them to re-open the government, and they have not made any action on this."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said on the Senate floor there will not be a vote until President Donald Trump and Democrats come to an agreement.
