WASHINGTON, DC - SEPTEMBER 27: Caution tape blows in the wind on the east front plaza of the U.S. Capitol Building on September 27, 2023 in Washington, DC. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) continues to have difficulty finding a legislative path that would prevent the federal government from partially shutting down at midnight on September 30 and would also not jeopardize his speakership.

If the wider public starts seeing disruptions in air travel or border security as workers go unpaid, it will further goad Congress to act.
