Last week, House Republicans passed a clean continuing resolution, with no partisan riders, that would've kept the government open until November 21, 2025. This bill would've allowed the government to operate at previously agreed-upon funding levels that Democrats and Republicans negotiated in March, while continuing negotiations for 2026 funding. Instead, Democrats failed to support the clean CR through the Senate, where seven Democratic votes are required for passage, leaving the government in a shutdown that prevents America's military, federal workers, and contractors from receiving pay.
House Republicans did our job. We voted to keep the government open and working for the American people. Democrats' demands are unreasonable and allow your hard-earned money to be used for illegal aliens and noncitizen health care. Once again, Democrats' policies put the American people last because now critical services for seniors, veterans, and our military at risk.
