The following day, on October 11, she addressed the role of Senators Peters and Slotkin regarding agricultural policy: "Senators Peters and Slotkin have turned their backs on the very people who feed this nation.

Later that same day, McClain returned to the subject of military pay during government shutdown debates: "Democrats have voted EIGHT times to deny our military the pay they’ve earned. Our service members deserve support—not political games.
Thank you President Trump for protecting our troops from the Democrat shutdown and ensuring they get paid. https://t.co/XjVxj54ojI".
