U.S. Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) voted to invoke cloture, meeting the 60 votes necessary to end debate on the Continuing Resolution (CR) and move to final passage. Senator Fetterman released the following statement in response: “My YES vote on cloture IS NOT an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR. “My YES vote on cloture IS 100% about refusing to shut our government down. “I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos or risk a recession. “I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down. Senator Fetterman joined 9 Democratic colleagues in supporting the cloture motion, which broke the filibuster to proceed to final passage and prevent a government shutdown. He voted against the final passage of the CR. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T17:53:31Z |
