Thune slams Democrats for blocking short-term government funding extension

Democratic lawmakers, led by the leader of the minority in the Senate Chuck Schumer, dn.y. The Republican decision (CR) is prohibited for the second time before the deadline for government financing.

A deal is unlikely to be concluded in the fiscal year (FY) 2025, and none of the sides was ready for a pyramid.

Thun said that there will be more voices to come on the same bill, but he noticed that if Shomer wanted to speak, he knows where to find him. He also said that there are Democrats “not satisfied with the situation they are.”

“We did not ask the Democrats to swallow any new republic policies. We have not added my party passengers,” Thun said. “We simply asked the Democrats to extend the current financing levels to allow the Senate to continue the partisan credits that we started.”

“Democrats in the Senate said no.” “Why? Because the groups of remote left interests and left -wing democratic members wanted a confrontation with the president. Thus, Democrats in the Senate sacrificed the American people with partisan Democrats.”

Republicans and failed to strengthen CR, which would have extended government financing until November 21 with the main goal of giving legislators more time to pass dozens of spending bills necessary for government financing, an achievement that has not been completed since the 1990s.

Despite the imminent closure, the Republican Cenate and Cenate found a luminous point in the failed vote: through more lane democrats than the previous test earlier this month.

“The defenses of Democrats actually appear,” said the majority of the Senate John Paraso, R and U -Yu. “When we received a vote on our suggestion to keep the government open, CLIC CR before the holiday, we had one democratic vote. Tonight we had three.”

Sens. John Fetterman, D-PA. CATERINE CORTEZ MASTO, D -Nev. , And Angus King, I-Maine, cross the corridor to support the bill.

Meanwhile, Schumer noted that he was not ready to budge from his post and instead he referred to the Republican Party and President Donald Trump because of “America’s drowning in closing, rejecting the two -party talks, pushing a party bill, and risking US health care.”

Democrats in the Senate pushed to extend the end of Obama tax credits, among other things, which Republicans have argued that they are not rulings that must be addressed to extending short -term financing.

However, Schumer was firm that Thne and Gop needed to come to the negotiating table to solve this issue and formulate CR from the two parties.

“We hope that they will sit with us and speak. Otherwise, it is the Republicans who will lead us directly towards the closure of the night, and in the middle of the night,” Schumer said. “The American people will blame them for bringing the federal government.”
