‘Just moments ago on the House floor. We passed by overwhelming numbers, the ability to keep government open for the next six weeks.’
‘Winston Churchill once said this about America. You can always count on Americans to do what’s right after they’ve exhausted every other option.’
‘So, I think at the end of the day, we kept the government open, kept paying our troops to finish the job we have to get done.’
In this video, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, addresses the passage of a stopgap funding bill aimed at avoiding a government shutdown. McCarthy highlights the importance of keeping the government operational and supporting the troops, stating, "I think at the end of the day, we kept the government open, kept paying our troops to finish the job we have to get done."
He also comments on the seriousness of an incident involving a fire alarm being pulled in the U.S. Capitol, saying, "This is an embarrassment. You’re elected to be a member of Congress. He pulled a fire alarm hours before the government being shut down, trying to dictate that government would shut down. What’s going through a person’s mind like that? But we will find the right ability to deal with this." The funding bill is passed with significant bipartisan support, ensuring the government remains open for an additional 45 days.
