WASHINGTON, D.C.—The government shutdown has entered its fifth day as negotiations over healthcare and other issues are underway. Rep. Pat Harrigan tells “NewsNation Live” Republicans want Democrats to pass a “clean continuing resolution.” “Let’s have these policy negotiations when the government is open, not when it’s closed,” he says.
