Today, the Senate is expected to vote on funding the federal government. Chuck Schumer’s hand-picked candidate in North Carolina, Radical Roy Cooper (D-NC), would be just another vote for Schumer’s reckless shutdown. Senate Democrats’ radical demands include $1.5 trillion in new spending, funding free healthcare for illegal aliens, and cutting $50 billion dollars in funding for rural hospitals provided by the Working Family Tax Cuts.
“Roy Cooper knows a government shutdown would jeopardize flood insurance for millions of Americans during hurricane season, leave military families without pay, and put law enforcement lives in jeopardy,” said NRSC Regional Press Secretary Nick Puglia. “But Cooper won’t say a word against it because he’s Chuck Schumer’s handpicked Senate candidate who will always put the Democrat Party above what’s best for North Carolina.”
Roy Cooper is Chuck Schumer’s handpicked Senate candidate. Schumer’s Shutdown would:
- Leave military families without pay
- Put law enforcement lives on the line
- Jeopardize flood insurance for millions of Americans during hurricane season
- Threaten vital healthcare and housing programs for veterans
- Allow funding for Medicare patients’ treatment to expire
- Hurt farmers and ranchers who need certainty to produce our food
- Drive up food prices for America’s most needy families
Democrats are demanding $1.5 trillion in spending increases to end the shutdown and:
- Cut $50 billion in rural health care funding
- Restore Biden-era free healthcare for illegal aliens
- Expand taxpayer-funded Medicaid to unemployed, able-bodied individuals without dependents under 14 years old
- Eliminate Republican-passed fraud protections for taxpayer benefits like Medicaid and SNAP
