Boyle Statement on Republicans’ Project 2025 Continuing Resolution

September 18, 2024

With Just 7 Working Days Left, House Republicans Push America Towards Shutdown

WASHINGTON, D.C. Tonight, House Republicans failed to advance an extreme continuing resolution that pushes Trump’s Project 2025 agenda and shortchanges health care for our veterans. Following the vote, Congressman Brendan F. Boyle, Ranking Member of the House Budget Committee, released the following statement:

“As long as House Republicans continue pushing Project 2025 funding bills, they will continue pushing our nation towards a government shutdown," said Ranking Member Boyle. “Trump said he’d “shut down the government in a heartbeat” to push his Project 2025 agenda – and instead of working with Democrats to fund the government, House Republicans tied themselves into knots trying to give Trump what he wants. Just as they’ve done for the last two years, House Republicans have proven they’re more interested in imposing Trump’s dangerous agenda than lifting a finger to help middle-class families and keep our government open. American families deserve better than this extreme bill and they deserve better than House Republicans.”
