Travelers who experienced long airport security wait times and flight delays this past weekend have Democrats to thank for their refusal to support reopening the federal government, the White House said Monday.<\/p>\n

Half of the airports in the United States saw staffing shortages over the weekend, triggering flight delays and cancellations, the Trump administration said.<\/p>\n

“Americans are paying the price for Democrats\u2019 sick political games as air travel grinds to a halt amid the Democrat-driven chaos,” a White House news release said. “With essential workers like air traffic controllers and TSA agents being forced to labor without paychecks, this past weekend saw the worst weekend for staff since the Democrat Shutdown began \u2014 and it\u2019s only going to get worse.”<\/p>\n

The government shutdown continued Monday as Republicans and Democrats doubled down on their positions. Come late Tuesday night, the shutdown will officially become the longest on record \u2014 at 36 days \u2014 breaking the previous record set in early 2019.<\/p>\n

SEAN DUFFY WARNS OF RECORD STRAIN ON AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AHEAD OF FIRST MISSED PAYCHECK<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The White House said Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoint wait times ballooned over the weekend as essential workers like air traffic controllers and TSA agents were forced to work without pay.<\/p>\n

Checkpoint wait times exceeded three hours at Houston\u2019s George Bush Intercontinental Airport, with some passengers enduring up to five hours in line, the White House said. At nearby William P. Hobby Airport<\/a>, security wait times routinely exceeded one hour.<\/p>\n

Passengers in the New York City area were warned of schedule changes, gate holds, and missed connections, while major disruptions hammered airports in Chicago, San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Miami, Orlando, Jacksonville, Austin, Cleveland, Seattle, Boston, Indianapolis, Nashville, Phoenix, and Washington, D.C., the administration said.<\/p>\n

GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN 101: WE’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE, HERE’S WHAT HAPPENS NEXT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“There\u2019s a reason every major travel stakeholder \u2014 from air traffic controllers to pilots to the nation\u2019s largest airlines \u2014 is begging Democrats to stop the insanity by passing Republicans\u2019 clean, nonpartisan continuing resolution,” the White House said. “Each week the Democrat Shutdown is prolonged, more than $1 billion in travel-related spending is lost, all while Democrats try to leverage the suffering in their demented political game.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Democratic Party.<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition to the disruptions at America\u2019s airports, funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), meant to be a lifeline for low-income households, was set to expire over the weekend.<\/p>\n

“Not a single American should go hungry. Not a single American. And it’s the fault of Republicans that that is happening in this country right now,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump said Sunday in an interview that he “won\u2019t be extorted” by Democrats who are demanding negotiations to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies that expire at the end of the year for millions of Americans.<\/p>\n

Trump said he will only negotiate once the shutdown ends.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
