The Senate has wasted the entire year and a half. They have not passed a single bill.

I hold the Democrats in the Senate most responsible, but I don’t excuse the Republicans for letting them do it.

We want to take away the possibility of a shutdown between now and the election.

The bill before us is a clean, narrowly tailored continuing resolution that keeps the government open and operating. Nothing more. Nothing less.
