West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey told Face the Nation his state is aiding residents during the shutdown, citing $13 million for food banks and National Guard support, while blaming Democrats for blocking a clean CR. He said he’s working closely with the Trump administration and noted more than 270,000 West Virginians rely on SNAP as federal aid is disrupted. Morrisey defended a rural health initiative he credits to President Trump, RFK and Dr. Oz, despite warnings from the state hospital association about major losses. He opened by acknowledging a mining accident and a missing miner.
