ERAD OF THE EMERITA HOUSE Nancy Pelosi And several key democrats urge Senate Democrats to risk a government closure by opposing a mandatory spending bill that is considered today on the Senate’s floor.
Instead, Pelosi, who represents San Francisco and is a leading Democrat in the Chamber, urges senators to support a short -term financing extension that would allow more time for negotiation.
The Senate will take a key procedural vote on Friday afternoon to potentially see the final approval of a Stopgap government expenditure bill, known as a continuous resolution (CR), A Avoid partial closure As time ends.
Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer, Dn.y., Revealed that he would vote for the CR passed through the house, because “a closure would be a gift” for the president Donald Trump and Republicans.

Pelosi, a prominent democrat in the Chamber, however, says that the bill presents a “false option.”
“Donald Trump and ELON ALMIZCLE They have offered the Congress a false election between a government closure or a blank check that makes a devastating assault on the welfare of working families throughout the United States, “he wrote in X.
“Let’s be clear,” he continued, “it is not a good option for the American people. But this false choice that some are buying instead of fighting is unacceptable.”
Pelosi praised the leader of the minority of the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries and the Democrats of the House of Representatives, for voting overwhelmingly against the bill.

She said that Democratic senators “should listen to women” in Congress.
“The assignments leaders, Rosa Delauro and Patty Murray, have eloquently presented the case that we must have a better option: a four -week financing extension to maintain the open government and negotiate a bipartisan agreement,” said Pelosi.
“The United States has experienced a Trump closure before, but this harmful legislation only gets worse,” he said. “Democrats should not buy this false option. We must fight for a better way. Listen to women, for people.”

“The United States was founded on the concept of controls and balances, but the Republicans in Congress have decided to bend their knee to Donald Trump, Elon Musk and his cronies seeking to gut our government from the inside out. It is dangerous,” he said.
“Democrats have the ability to force bipartisanship and bring together the two parties to make a budget that reflects the priorities that we should all share,” he added. “I urge not to vote on the continuous resolution.”
