7:15Now PlayingNorth Carolina Republican Representative Greg Murphy said that the Obamacare subsidies at the heart of the government shutdown are a 'ticking time bomb that was going to explode.' Murphy said that Democrats have backed themselves into a corner as key payroll and benefit deadlines approach with no funding agreement in sight.
Vance did not explain how the White House would pay the military and Republican Senator Mike Rounds said the issue did not come up during their lunch.
Senate Armed Services Chairman Roger Wicker said he doesn’t know what money the administration would be able to use to pay troops.
It appears that other federal workers, including Defense Department civilians and air traffic controllers, will continue to go without pay.
“Unfortunately, we’re not going to be able to pay everybody because we’ve been handed a very bad hand by the Democrats,” Vance said.
Vice President JD Vance said Tuesday he expects the Trump administration to pay military personnel on Friday, even as the government shutdown shows no end in sight.
“We believe that we can continue to pay the troops on Friday,” Vance told reporters after lunch with Republican senators at the Capitol.
The administration circumvented Congress and moved about $8 billion in research and development funds to cover the military’s payroll on Oct. 15. But Republicans have cautioned that they could not guarantee paychecks for troops if the shutdown persisted.
