During Shutdown Week, Congress was on the clock as a partial government shutdown loomed with a Friday deadline. The tension was highlighted by a clash between Speaker Johnson and Leader McConnell over a border deal. House Democrats, emphasizing their commitment to the American people, passed a Continuing Resolution for the third time to prevent a shutdown. They focused on reducing health care costs, protecting democracy, and investing in infrastructure, while urging the House Republicans to secure full-year funding.
.@HouseDemocrats just voted to avert an irresponsible government shutdown and keep services flowing to Michigan families. @HouseGOP it's time to get to work and get full year funding across the finish line.
Today, @HouseDemocrats stepped up — for the third time — to prevent a government shutdown. That is what putting #PeopleOverPolitics looks like. https://t.co/1Y7d9OITBj
Once again, @HouseDemocrats came to the rescue 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, @HouseDemocrats helped avoid a reckless government shutdown due to House Republicans' inability to govern. Read my full statement on today’s Continuing Resolution vote⤵️ https://t.co/Trir73kwLS
Once again, MAGA Republicans are bringing us to the brink of a government shutdown instead of focusing on the American people. @HouseDemocrats remain committed to reducing health care costs, protecting our democracy, and investing in our infrastructure. #peopleoverpolitics
