WASHINGTON, D.C. — Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) voted in favor of President Trump’s clean government funding bill today to keep the government open, ensure critical resources remain available, pay our troops, and give law enforcement the resources they need to protect our communities.
Senate Democrats’ partisan counter bill would have saddled taxpayers with hundreds of billions of dollars in new spending, eliminated the $50 billion rural hospital fund provided by the Working Family Tax Cuts, increased waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicaid, and forced taxpayers to fund benefits for illegal immigrants.
“Chuck Schumer and Washington Democrats are shamefully trying to shut down our government for a radical, far-left wish list, but John Cornyn blocked it and is in lockstep with President Trump’s fight for workers, businesses, veterans, law enforcement, and our troops,” said NRSC Communications Director Joanna Rodriguez. “Meanwhile, Democrats like Jasmine Crockett – who voted against this bill today – Colin Allred, and James Talarico would be Chuck Schumer’s puppets working to obstruct President Trump’s agenda.”
