Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX) admitted Tuesday that even if the government shuts down over funding for the Department of Homeland Security, there is “enough money” for the department to continue its operations.
Escobar appeared on CNN’s the Situation Room as the deadline to fund the government, Jan. 30, is fast approaching. If the Senate does not reach a consensus on the appropriations bill to fund DHS, it will result in at least a partial government shutdown.
