The Senate passed a test vote to reopen the government. Lawmakers voted 60-40 to move toward passing legislation to fund the government.
Senator Markwayne Mullins posted on X: “After 40 days, the Senate unlocked a path to reopen the government. Final vote: 60-40. I voted for the 15th time to end the Schumer Shutdown, pay our troops and air traffic controllers, and this time, pass three key full-year appropriations bills to fund Ag (including SNAP), MilCon/VA and the Leg Branch.”
I’m frustrated that Oklahomans have faced almost six weeks of unnecessary hardship, travel delays, and missed paychecks, but after this important vote, I’m optimistic the Schumer Shutdown will soon come to an end.
