Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman said Tuesday that he would support Senate Republicans nuking the filibuster to end the government shutdown.
Fetterman said the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — also known as food stamps — is running out of funding and people “need to eat” as the government shutdown finishes its third week, The Hill news outlet reported.
“There are no winners here. It’s not getting better every day here. People are going to start to get really hungry, and I’ve been fully, fully committed to fund SNAP, open up the government,” Fetterman said, also noting that U.S. Capitol Police officers aren’t being paid during the shutdown.
