Wednesday officially marked one week since the federal government shut down, and two short-term funding bills from each party failed to pass in the Senate.

House Speaker Mike Johnson and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries have continued to place blame on each other’s parties with negotiations at a standstill in Washington, D.C.

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, whose district includes all of Staten Island and parts of South Brooklyn, joined “Inside City Hall” to discuss the latest on the shutdown.

Malliotakis is also a member of the House Ways and Means Committee and the Subcommittee on Tax.
