Lawmaker urges support for continuing resolution to avoid government shutdown
Summary
The lawmaker said Republicans will bring a continuing resolution (named to 'Chairman Cole') to the floor to avoid a shutdown and accused some Democrats of voting to cause shutdowns, citing expected impacts on travel and pay for service members.
The speaker said Republicans plan to bring a continuing resolution to the House floor this week to avoid a government shutdown and credited 'Chairman Cole' with that effort. "We're gonna bill this week to just fund government, continuing resolution that chairman Cole is bringing forward today to say, look, we don't want a government shutdown," he said.
He contrasted that planned action with an accusation that some Democrats would vote to shut the government down, describing effects such as longer airport lines and lost pay for service members. The transcript records the speaker's assertions and projected impacts but does not include formal procedural details beyond the announcement.
