American Red Cross Supports Military Amid Government Shutdown
The government shutdown has exceeded 28 days with no end in sight, prompting the American Red Cross to aid military service members who may miss paychecks.
Disagreements between Republicans and Democrats have resulted in the second-longest government shutdown in U.S. history, surpassing 28 days.
Concerns have escalated as the Trump administration shifted $8 billion from military research and development funds to pay active-duty members, who may start missing pay this Friday.
Vice President JD Vance said Tuesday he believed that members would be paid at the end of this week.
The American Red Cross is among organizations nationwide coming to the aid of military service members amid the shutdown.
