Full Text

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Representative Warren Davidson (R-OH) voted in support of the Senate-passed minibus bill, which included the continuing resolution to reopen the government. "Senate Democrats shut the government down and attempted to use the American people's suffering as leverage to secure $1.5 trillion of wasteful spending. Thankfully, Speaker Johnson prevailed and Democrats failed to extort the American people," said Rep. Warren Davidson . "This CR isn't perfect, but I'm optimistically voting in support of it so we can reopen the government and get back to work for the American people. Hopefully, not giving in to Democrats' ransom demands and reopening the government will rally House Republicans to finish appropriations before Christmas." Background On September 19, House Republicans passed a continuing resolution (CR) to keep the government funded while we worked to pass each of the appropriations bills. In the Senate, the CR needed 60 votes to pass. Unfortunately, Senate Democrats were focused on political theatrics and voted over a dozen times to keep the government shutdown. This led to the Schumer Shutdown lasting more than 40 days - the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. A handful of Senate Democrats eventually came to their senses and joined Senate Republicans pass a minibus bill, which included three appropriations bills as well as the CR to reopen the government until January 30. The minibus bill was then sent back to the House, which passed it by a vote of 222 to 209. ###
