Senators Ossoff and Warnock Vote Against March 14 House Stop-Gap Funding Bill Amid Concerns Over Administration Actions

Senator Jon Ossoff of Georgia has announced his intention to vote against the House's stop-gap funding bill, which aims to avert a government shutdown. Ossoff, considered one of the most vulnerable Senate Democrats, criticized the bill for failing to impose necessary constraints on the Trump Administration, which he claims is undermining essential services like the CDC and the Veterans Affairs. He emphasized the need for Congress to fulfill its constitutional obligation to check the President's actions. Additionally, Senator Raphael Warnock has also expressed his opposition to the bill, citing concerns over increased costs for Georgians and cuts to care for servicemembers, education, and healthcare investments.
