In a rare appearance on C-SPAN, House Speaker Mike Johnson heard from one military mom who begged him to bring the House back to session to pass a standalone bill to provide military troops pay during the government shutdown.
The individual was identified on the call as “Samantha” — a Republican from Fort Belvoir, Virginia, who said she’s “very disappointed” with the Republican Party over the shutdown.
She said her “kids could die” if her family experiences a lapse in pay on Oct. 15.
