Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy predicted that delays and cancellations of flights “will live on” beyond when the government shutdown ends.

Duffy appeared on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, on the 40th day of the government shutdown. His appearance comes on the heels of 5,000 flights getting delayed or canceled in a single day.
