Congresswoman Hageman Releases Statement on Senate Democrats Voting for a Government Shutdown for the Fourth Time

Washington, D.C. - On Friday afternoon, and for the fourth time, the Senate Democrats blocked the House-approved Continuing Resolution that was designed to keep the government running through November 21, 2025.

Congresswoman Harriet Hageman issued the following statement in response:

"Under President Joe Biden, Congressional Democrats voted 13 times for this exact type of bill to avoid a government shutdown. Under President Trump, Democrats are now voting against this same short-term measure. This is not just Trump derangement syndrome; the Democrats are throwing a tantrum because we refuse to allow them to spend $1.5 trillion on nonsense, such as healthcare for illegal aliens and refunding NPR and PBS. Democrats are also seeking to repeal the $50 billion we appropriated for rural healthcare, which would hit Wyoming especially hard," said Rep. Hageman. "Wyoming's congressional delegation chose to govern rather than engage in political blackmail, as both Senators Barrasso and Lummis supported all four votes in the Senate, and I in the House. Now our state, which shoulders an unfair federal burden to begin with, is being injured by Senate Democrats."
