BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
“While we should not be celebrating that we passed the last of the funding bills nearly six months after the deadline, I am relieved that House Republicans have finally ceased their political games to allow Congress to fulfill its constitutional obligation to fund the government.
This ‘minibus’ spending package passed with strong bipartisan support and sets up essential investments in our national defense, international partnerships, and programs centered on public health and education. I look forward to President Biden signing it swiftly to keep our government running.”
