A Republican member of the House passionately called on his Speaker to change course in a CNN interview on Sunday.
Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) gave an interview with CNN's Manu Raju, who asked the lawmaker, "What do you say to Speaker Johnson, who says there is no reason for the House to come back into session?"
Kiley said there are "a lot of reasons" for the House to come back into session. "We were supposed to be in session the last two weeks," he continued, noting that the House still has everyday business to take care of despite the shutdown.
In reality, he added, the fact that there's a federal shutdown is "all the more reason" to be there, so that they can resolve it.
