It gives the nation and our constituents certainty, certainty that the government will remain open, certainty that our service members will be paid.
Our conference refuses to let the obstruction and inaction of Senate Democrats trigger another manufactured shutdown at the end of September. That is why we are acting before a funding lapse crisis, not in response to it.
The only reason we’re doing it now is, first, the Senate Democrats, I think, have misused the filibuster, and honestly, the Republicans have let them misuse the filibuster.
We want to take away the possibility of a shutdown between now and the election.
