Speaker Mike Johnson criticized Senate Democrats on Wednesday for blocking a government funding stopgap, emphasizing the real-world impact in their states.

He highlighted Georgia Senators Warnock and Ossoff, who he said have voted five times to keep the government closed, affecting families and food bank access.

Johnson also called out New Hampshire Senators Shaheen and Hassan for votes that have kept national parks closed.

He warned of broader consequences, including strain on air traffic controllers and aviation safety amid unpaid work, Politico has reported.

Meanwhile, a sixth Senate vote on competing stopgap bills is expected to fail, with negotiations stalled and no end to the shutdown in sight.
