U.S. Congressional leaders, including Speaker Mike Johnson, Democratic Leader Jeffries, and Senate leaders, have reached an agreement to keep the government open, avoiding a partial government shutdown. Several representatives, including Rep. Bera, Rep. Thompson, Rep. Gwen Moore, Rep. Duarte, Congressman Raja, and Rep. Gabe Amo, expressed their support for the decision by voting for a Continuing Resolution. The resolution aims to maintain essential services and give Congress more time to negotiate a long-term funding deal. Lawmakers emphasized the importance of moving beyond short-term solutions and addressing the need for full-year funding bills to ensure the stability of government operations and the economy.

The American people cannot afford a government shutdown. That is why I joined with a majority of my colleagues in voting for today’s continuing resolution to keep essential services functioning and to give congressional leadership more time to strike a long-term funding deal.

I just voted to prevent a government shutdown, but we didn’t have to be here. This needs to be the last short-term government funding bill. We need to fund pressing needs in our communities with full appropriations legislation.
Shutdowns are bad, and I was proud to help avoid a shutdown by voting to fund the government today. Enough of the patchwork, let’s pass full-year funding bills to ensure our servicemembers get paid and our economy remains strong. https://t.co/BipUtpgffd
I just voted to avoid a partial government shutdown. This was the responsible thing to do, but my point remains the same: we cannot continue to govern from crisis to crisis.
