WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) released the following statement announcing she will vote against Republicans’ partisan continuing resolution that gives President Trump and Elon Musk unprecedented power to withhold funding for critical programs supporting veterans, seniors, and families in Nevada and across the country.
“Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress have complete control of the federal government, and they’re using their power to help Elon Musk continue to systematically dismantle basic government functions from veterans’ health care to aviation safety and cancer research,” said Senator Rosen. “I cannot vote for an irresponsible and hyper-partisan bill that gives Trump and Musk even more power to hurt millions of Americans all while Congressional Republicans continue to push for cuts to Medicaid to pay for more tax breaks for the ultra-rich and giant corporations. Funding the government requires actually working together across party lines to find common ground, and the Republicans in power failed to do so.”
