Statement
Issues: Government Budget and Spending
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
"It's unfortunate that we once again need to step in at the eleventh hour to avert a government shutdown due to Congress' inability to pass full spending bills in a timely manner. We urge House Republicans to put brinksmanship aside and join us in passing today's legislation without delay. It's time for Congress to start treating funding deadlines seriously and provide the government and the American people with the funding needed to respond to the novel needs of a new fiscal year. We look forward to working with our colleagues these next six weeks to fulfill Congress' most basic duty and finally push a bipartisan long-term agreement through the finish line."
