U.S. Senator Todd Young of Indiana appeared on Fox Business's The Claman Countdown with Liz Claman to address the ongoing federal government shutdown and its effects, particularly on military personnel and their pay.
Young stated that he has voted nine times in favor of funding measures intended to reopen the government. According to Young, these efforts have been blocked by Senate Democrats.
“The Democrats continue to obstruct efforts to keep government running – their most fundamental responsibility,” Young said.
The interview highlighted concerns about American servicemembers not receiving their paychecks due to the shutdown.
