Vice President JD Vance said that the Trump administration has found a way to pay military members this week despite the ongoing government shutdown.
“We believe that we can continue to pay the troops on Friday,” Vance told reporters after attending a Senate GOP lunch on Tuesday. “Unfortunately, we’re not going to be able to pay everybody, because we’ve been handed a very bad hand by the Democrats.”
“This is one of the reasons why you’ve seen some layoffs in the federal workforce. We do think that we can continue paying the troops, at least for now,” he added.
