U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) criticized Senate Democrats in a press conference, urging them to "end their temper tantrum" and vote to reopen the government. He stated that federal workers' paychecks are shrinking daily while flight delays are increasing due to the shutdown, saying, "Every day that this goes on, the problems are compounded for federal workers and for ordinary Americans."
