Dem Rep. Meeks: ‘I Don’t Know Why’ Dem Senators Voted to Reopen the Government

EXCERPT:

SIDNER: “Look, this is the discussion that's going on in many Democratic circles. And if Democrats' main reason for not voting for a budget to keep the government open was to secure those health care subsidies, to keep health care premiums from skyrocketing beyond a person's ability to pay for them and now, after 41 days, enough Senate Democrats are willing to sign a bill that does not guarantee that, what was it all for?”
MEEKS: “Look, I don't know why the senators voted the way they did. Clearly, the issue in America, as we saw just this past Tuesday, is affordability. That's what Americans are concerned about. That's what the elections were about.”
