Ricketts Issues Statement Ahead of Government Funding Expiration
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) released the following statement as Senate Democrats threaten to shutdown the federal government at midnight tonight:
"The Democrats just voted to shutdown government. They voted against a clean continuing resolution (CR) that would have funded government for seven weeks. Previously, they had voted for this exact budget. In fact, Democrats voted for a clean CR 13 times under Joe Biden. This Schumer Shutdown is the height of hypocrisy. Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats know this. Yet they continue to hold the nation hostage. Senate Republicans will continue working to responsibly fund the government. This is a Schumer Shutdown."
