Senator John Thune comments on the ongoing government shutdown, urging Democrats to prioritize American families over partisan demands.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) addressed the ongoing government shutdown during remarks on the Senate floor, criticizing Democrats for not moving to end it even after fifteen days. He stated, “Not even the prospect of military families going without a paycheck was enough for Democrats to reopen the government.”
Thune contended that Democrats are demanding $1.5 trillion in new spending as a condition to reopen the government, which he views as excessive. He urged the need for five more Democratic votes to pass a clean, nonpartisan funding resolution, emphasizing the urgency of restoring government operations for those affected.
He pointed out that polls indicate two-thirds of voters prefer to see the government reopened rather than maintain the current stalemate. Thune concluded by questioning whether the day would mark the continuation of the shutdown or a step towards reopening the government, inviting further consideration from his colleagues.
