For the third time since September, House Democrats have provided the necessary votes to avert a government shutdown, with 107 House Republicans voting against the measure. The bipartisan, bicameral effort resulted in the passing of a Continuing Resolution (CR), which prevents a short-term disaster and ensures federal workers remain paid, agencies stay open, and services continue. Despite the internal division among House Republicans, the resolution garnered enough support to pass. Democrats have stressed their commitment to putting the American people and working families first, over politics. The repeated reliance on CRs has led to calls for a long-term bipartisan budget agreement to provide stability and address the nation's needs without brinksmanship.
While I’m glad Congress came together to avoid a government shutdown, it’s our responsibility to pass a full budget — not kick the can down the road with continuing resolutions. My statement: https://t.co/NcfRLDkAUh
I was glad to see strong bipartisan support of the continuing resolution to prevent a government shutdown. This is a good start to tackling our national debt and deficit. More work must be done to get our country back on the right long-term fiscal track. https://t.co/VAI6SAXR66
The House passed bipartisan legislation today that avoids the threat of yet another government shutdown & protects critical programs & services that support working families & our economy. But we must move past these short-term fixes. Read my statement below. https://t.co/U7JwTnURiS
I once again voted today to fund the government and avoid a shutdown. We avoided the harm a shutdown would've caused, but it shouldn't be this way. America is relying on Congress to come together and pass a bipartisan budget so we can avoid further anxiety and chaos.
For the third time since September, I voted to prevent a damaging government shutdown. In the weeks ahead, I’ll continue doing everything I can to prevent extreme D.C. Republicans from shutting down the federal government. https://t.co/M3XHmayXaI
Once again, Congress narrowly avoided an unnecessary government shutdown. We can’t keep cutting it this close. Our federal workers, troops, and Alaskan families deserve better. We need more bipartisan cooperation to pass a full budget, and that’s what I’ll keep working on.
Today the Senate did our part (again) to prevent a government shutdown, and I’m glad the House did the same. But look — this has to STOP. It's past time we pass a budget for the FULL fiscal year that actually addresses our country's needs. ENOUGH with the MAGA brinksmanship!
Again, House Dems provided the votes to keep the gov open. We passed a short-term funding bill to avoid a shutdown & provide time for full spending bills to be considered. We must work in a bipartisan manner to fund the gov at levels agreed to by @POTUS & Speaker McCarthy.
Today, I voted to avert a government shutdown. Members of Congress came together in a bipartisan, bicameral way to keep the services you need open for business!
107 House Republicans just voted to shut down the government. Once again, this so-called majority party needed Democrats to bail them out of their self-inflicted crisis. https://t.co/iGxf9Scdrj
For the third time in just a matter of months, I joined my Senate colleagues today in voting to avoid a reckless and unnecessary government shutdown. We must come to a long-term bipartisan agreement that funds our government and stops putting American families at risk.
Once again, a huge group of extreme MAGA Republicans in the House voted to shut down the government. And once again, Democrats come to the rescue to provide the votes to keep the government open. The GOP isn’t a serious party and they cannot be trusted to govern. https://t.co/Is7TamUSty
House Democrats have once again prevented a government shutdown that could have had a negative impact on the average American. We are prioritizing the American people, and working hard for the benefit of families across the country.
Just voted YES to avert a government shutdown. This is the THIRD time that we voted to keep the government open under this GOP majority. I will always vote to put people over politics.
I just voted YES on today's Continuing Resolution to keep the government open. Read my full statement: https://t.co/TPV1d2Ptu2
For the 3rd time this Congress, House Democrats have provided the votes to prevent a government shutdown. We have shown time and time again that we are willing to govern on behalf of everyday Americans while Extreme MAGA Republicans put Politics Over People.
Just voted to keep the government open and avoid a government shutdown. House Democrats again provided the necessary votes to keep federal workers paid, agencies open, and services provided, while House Republicans remain divided and dysfunctional.
Half of the House Republican majority just voted to shut down the government. Fortunately House Democrats were not going to let that happen! https://t.co/PhsI62z9Q6
House Democrats are ready and willing to keep the government open by working with Republicans to deliver critical investments Americans depend on. Today, we passed a CR to avoid a costly and harmful government shutdown. Democrats will always make working families a top priority!
Once again, Democrats stood up to be the adults in the room and provided the votes to keep the government up and running. House Republicans have neither the interest nor the ability to govern.
House Democrats are the adults in the room. We stopped a MAGA shutdown in September. We did it again in November. And we did it again today. https://t.co/fglxOoO1rF
I just voted to avert a devastating government shutdown. Under the Republican majority, this is the 3rd time @HouseDemocrats have provided the votes to keep the government open. We are here to deliver for the American people, Republicans are here to cause chaos.
For the 3rd time, the House GOP took us to the 11th hour of a shutdown. And, for the 3rd time, Democrats came to the rescue to keep the doors of government open and keep workers paid. https://t.co/rpMk1hMiTC
Just now Democrats acted again to keep the government open while half the entire House republican conference voted to shut down the government. https://t.co/yuny0OR3GB
I voted to pass the latest Continuing Resolution to avoid a harmful partial government shutdown. Now that we've avoided short-term disaster, Republicans must stop their internal chaos so we can get to work & provide full-year funding. https://t.co/pgbzI8y7gR
Once again, House Democrats came to the rescue of Republicans and prevented a government shutdown that would have hurt Floridians. My Democrat colleagues and I remain focused on our objective: to put #PeopleOverPolitics and deliver for working families. That is why we are here.
Once again, I am heading to the House floor to vote YES to keep the government open and working for the American people. There is no time for MAGA Republican stunts. @HouseDemocrats will continue putting #PeopleOverPolitics for the good of our nation. https://t.co/qV1CMRS04C
Today I voted to keep the gov’t open & working for the American people. We can’t let House GOP infighting prevent Congress from doing its job & passing responsible, full-year appropriations measures that deliver for hard-working families & address our most pressing issues.
Working families want Congress to focus on lowering costs and growing the middle class. @HouseDemocrats are ready and willing to keep the government open so we can deliver the critical investments they're counting on!
