"We've had DHS shut down for 38 days, I think. The Democrats at one point voted to fund DHS and then they backtracked. We have been debating the SAVE Act for, I don't know, ten days, I guess. We're stuck."
"I think it's very clear the president is the one standing in the way of paychecks for TSA workers because of his ridiculous attempt to pass the SAVE Act."
"I'm a big believer that when you're stuck, you ought to try to plow around the stump, not through it."
Sen. John Kennedy indicated that President Trump might reconsider a deal to end the Department of Homeland Security shutdown. The shutdown has resulted in TSA agents working without pay, leading to high call-out rates and long security lines at airports. A previous deal proposed by Senate Majority Leader John Thune was rejected by Trump. Kennedy criticized Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for blaming Trump and emphasized the need for a solution, suggesting a two-step process to resolve the impasse.
