WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, America First Works (AFW) applauded President Donald J. Trump, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), and House Speaker Mike Johnson (LA-04) for fighting to reopen the government and never backing down from protecting Americans.
“The Democrat Shutdown was a waste of time, money, and resources that only hurt the American people. It should’ve never happened. It’s appalling too that after more than 40 days and voting 15 times to close the government, Democrats are already scheming for another shutdown in January. Not a single American should have had to pay the price for the government’s incompetence or inaction. But many did because Democrats put illegals and their ‘political brand’ above our citizens. Thankfully, President Trump and congressional Republicans continued to stand strong for the American people.”
