During a press conference on Capitol Hill this morning, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and other GOP leaders blamed Democrats for the impact of the government shutdown on military pay, which will lapse next week unless federal funding is restored.

“Starting next week, American servicemembers, many of whom live paycheck to paycheck, are going to miss a full paycheck if Democrats don’t end this shutdown by Monday," Johnson said.

Majority leader Steve Scalise, R-La., also criticized Democrats for the funding impasse.
