U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito addressed the concerns surrounding the government shutdown during a recent press conference.
In the interview, Senator Capito said she believes there has been some movement in the bipartisan talks despite the lack of a breakthrough in the Senate.
When discussing Governor Patrick Morrisey’s solution to fund food banks, she believes that the $13 million in funding would be reimbursed. Senator Capito said it would be similar to how government worker salaries will be restored once the shutdown ends.
Senator Capito says that based on recent conversations, she believes the shutdown is nearing an end and hopes to see it resolved sometime next week.
