Unfortunately, the Republican Party and President Trump have failed to stop a shutdown, adding chaos and doubt to our economy and system of governance. It also creates unnecessary uncertainty for hardworking families and businesses right before the holidays. I would support an agreement that funds the government with a clean continuing resolution and that does not waste resources on a border wall. I will be ready and willing to work in the next Congress to pass a long-term budget and fund issues important to the American people, including education initiatives, infrastructure, and protections for people with pre-existing conditions in the Affordable Care Act law." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-27T23:11:43Z |
