WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) released the following statement after the Senate voted to end the Schumer Shutdown after more than 40 days of Senate Democrats repeatedly refusing to vote in favor of reopening the federal government:
“The Schumer Shutdown will go down as the longest and dumbest government shutdown in history.”
“After more than 40 days of uncertainty for our troops, federal workers, Texas families who rely on SNAP, and countless others, Senate Democrats have relented after accomplishing nothing but hurting millions of Americans.”
“I am proud to have voted more than 15 times to reopen the government, and I look forward to President Trump signing government funding into law so the Senate can turn to pressing legislation like the annual defense authorization bill instead of wasting time on Chuck Schumer’s desperate attempt to save his political career.”
