Lawmakers face one last big hurdle to end shutdown. Flying to DC

 

One Republican opted to drive his motorcycle in the cold nearly 1,000 miles instead of risking a canceled or delayed flight.

WASHINGTON – Carpools and motorcycles, trains and even planes - very delayed planes. Lawmakers need to get back to Washington to end the government shutdown - a shutdown that has mucked up travel plans around the country by contributing to widespread flight delays.

Speaker Mike Johnson needs enough members of the House of Representatives to make it back to Washington by Wednesday night to vote to reopen the government.

The shutdown is causing travel issues so widespread that those very lawmakers may not all get back to D.C. in time to do their jobs
