Senator Schumer shut down the government.

On September 19th, the House passed a continuing resolution to extend government funding through November 21st, but Senate Democrats blocked it.

Senate Democrats understand that the House’s clean CR is good policy — they approved a nearly identical bill back in March. But that vote sent their radical base into a frenzy. Now these same Senators are too afraid to cross their base again. And it’s hurting the American people.

Instead of admitting that they’re scared of primary challenges, Schumer and the Senate Democrats are demanding an additional $1.5 trillion in new spending for a host of left-wing socialist programs — including free, taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegals. They know Republicans will reject this and are trying to pin the blame on President Trump and the House GOP.

The American people see through this. They understand members of the military are about to miss a paycheck due to Senate Democrats’ cowardice.
