Vice President JD Vance said that service members will receive their paychecks on Friday, though he warned the White House has a “limited pot of money” as a government shutdown stretches into its fifth week.

“We do think that we can continue paying the troops, at least for now. We’ve got food stamp benefits that are set to run out in a week. We’re trying to keep as much open as possible,” Vance told reporters as he left a lunch with Senate Republicans on Tuesday.
