WASHINGTON, D.C. – Republican
National Committee (RNC) Chairman Joe Gruters released the following statement
after the Senate passed a funding bill to reopen the government:
“For nearly six weeks, Republicans have voted to deliver
paychecks and food assistance to hardworking Americans while Democrats like Jon
Ossoff held the government hostage over healthcare for illegal aliens,” said
Chairman Gruters. “Now, after weeks of pain they could have
prevented, a handful of Democrats are crawling back to accept the same deal
they rejected a month ago — sparking a full-blown meltdown inside their own
Party. From the start, President Trump and Senate Republicans fought to end
this shutdown and minimize its harm. Democrats only caved after their own chaos
forced American families to pay the price.”
