Lindsey Graham and Mark Kelly, respectively Republican and Democratic senators, have dug their heels in over the government shutdown – which is now approaching two weeks, with the former saying that the closure will not push him to meet Democrats’ demands for a restoration of Obama-era healthcare subsidies.
Graham said on NBC News’s Meet the Press on Sunday that he was in favor of the Senate voting to reopen the government and prepared to “have a rational discussion” with Democrats – but not with the government shut down.
