Speaker Johnson on Senate Passage of CR: Republicans Stood Together to Get the Job Done

WASHINGTON — Speaker Johnson released the following statement after Senate Republicans passed a clean CR to fund the government through September. “Republicans have again stood together to get the job done, this time to pass a CR that freezes spending and funds the government for the remainder of FY25. Shamefully, 99% of Democrats in Congress voted to shut down the government—simply because they seem to hate President Trump more than they love America. “Never forget that Democrats voted to withhold: the paychecks of our troops, border patrol agents, and TSA employees; health care and benefits for veterans; and essential services and programs—just to make a meaningless political point. “While Democrats try to use the American people as political pawns, Republicans are working to deliver real, positive results for everyone.” ###
