Former Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson called on Congress to end the ongoing government shutdown, saying he is prepared to break with his Democratic Party over the issue.
The shutdown began after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and most Democrats voted to block a Republican spending bill early Wednesday.
