Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) said Tuesday he would back Republicans if they invoked the “nuclear option” to eliminate the Senate filibuster and push through legislation reopening the government.
“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 [the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program], open up the government,” he said, noting the program is running out of money.
“This is just bad political theater. Open it up,” Fetterman added, speaking to reporters.
