Lloyd Smucker (PA-11) released the following statement after voting to reopen the federal government and end the Democrats’ unnecessary and cruel government shutdown: “The historic nightmare of the Democrats’ shutdown is now over. Democrats admitted to using the American people as political leverage. Thankfully, enough Senate Democrats came to their senses to advance this continuing resolution and spending package earlier this week. The American people are right to be furious at Congressional Democrats who today—again refused to pay hardworking federal employees and soldiers, chose to keep SNAP and WIC recipients—mothers and children—hungry, and chose to keep the government closed. This shutdown was completely unnecessary. Congressional Democrats failed to assist with the most fundamental responsibility of shared governance in keeping government working for the people. History will not kindly judge the vicious indifference that Congressional Democrats have shown to the American people’s suffering these past 43 days.” # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:52:45Z |
