An air traffic controller taking part in NewsNation’s Cuomo Town Hall on Wednesday revealed to the live show’s panel of lawmakers and pundits that he is being forced to work as a DoorDash driver because of the ongoing government shutdown.
Jack Chris from Dallas, Texas, who has worked for the Federal Aviation Authority for 16 years, stood up at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., to explain that he had worked through previous shutdowns under both Barack Obama and Donald Trump and expressed the fear that the present impasse could run on much longer because of the polarized political climate.
