For much of the start of this week, it seemed like Congress was barreling toward a government shutdown or another massive, last-minute omnibus spending bill. I share in Florida families' frustrations and continue to fight to make sure that doesn't happen.
Like I wrote in my op-ed earlier this week, I don't know anyone that wants to see the government shutdown. That's why I've been calling on leadership to put America first and pass a budget on time. That's what our constituents deserve and what Chuck Schumer has failed to provide while also neglecting to address skyrocketing inflation that Washington's reckless spending has created or secure the border to stop the invasion of illegal immigrants that Joe Biden has allowed.
I have been very clear and have long believed that we need new leadership in the Senate that represents our voters and the issues we were sent here to fight for. That's why I challenged McConnell for his position as Senate Republican Leader in 2022. On Wednesday, we learned that McConnell is finally stepping down as Leader which means that Senate Republicans will now have an opportunity to refocus our efforts on solving the significant challenges facing our country and actually reflect the aspirations of voters.
The bottom line is this: I promised Florida families in 2018 that I would fight every single day to Make Washington Work for YOU...and I won't stop until that happens.
