“I am tired of the lies being spread around. There is a lie about what is happening here in Washington, and the lie is this: Republicans control the Presidency, the House, and the Senate, so it is on the Republicans for shutting it down. That is a lie. It takes 60 votes to get something done here in the U.S. Senate. We are looking for five Democrats to join us. It is already bipartisan. Three Democrats have joined us. If five more join the Republicans, we have done this 11 times in voting for this clean CR, which Democrats have done repeatedly under Joe Biden's watch. If five Democrats join us, we will open the government back up. But just wanted to set that straight at home. Yes, Republicans have majority control of the Senate, but it takes 60 votes to get an outcome here in Washington. We have 53 Republicans, if five Democrats join us, we will get this done.”
