House Speaker Mike Johnson said on Sunday that he believes he has the Republican votes to end a partial government shutdown by at least Tuesday.

That’s following a partial government shutdown began on Saturday, after Congress failed to approve a deal to keep a wide range of operations funded ahead of a midnight deadline.

NTD spoke with E.J. Antoni, chief economist at The Heritage Foundation, for insight on the economic impact of government shutdowns.
