Speaker Johnson on Government Funding Deadline
|

Time Text
In overwhelming numbers.
You support aid to people in distress.
This bill does that.
You're going to be voting no.
We're going to be voting yes.
We think the rural economy is in crisis.
There's important aid in here for it.
Aid, you support it.
We're going to be voting for it.
You're going to be voting against it.
That's just the facts.
You consider legislation one piece at a time, there's not a single thing in here that you oppose.
Except maybe the debt limit extension, which is the same debt limit extension you supported two years ago.
So I urge my colleagues to vote yes and keep the government open, help people in need, help the rural economy, and let us move forward with our work.
With that, Mr. Speaker, I urge passage of the bill and yield back.
The question is, will the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H .R. 10515?
Those in favor say aye.
Those opposed say no.
In the opinion of the chair, two -thirds being in the affirmative, for what purpose does the gentlewoman from Connecticut seek recognition?
Guess what?
I request a recorded vote.
Does the gentlewoman ask...
And nays.
With great surprise, the yays and nays are requested.
It is very disappointing that...
Very disappointing to us that all but two Democrats voted against aid to farmers and ranchers, against disaster relief, against all these bipartisan measures that had already been negotiated and decided upon.
Again, the only difference on this legislation...
What's the next step?
