"Well, as relates to getting paid, the fastest answer to solve that problem is to open up the government again,"
Daines stated, adding that they need 5 more supporters to join them to reopen the government. He also expressed support for the Trump Administration's efforts to reduce the size of the federal government.
Regarding layoffs, Daines noted that the Trump administration is taking the issue seriously and seeking ways to trim government operations.
