Rep. Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) has expressed her views following the recent vote to prevent a government shutdown and allocate essential funding for American farmers and those affected by natural disasters. In her statement, McClain highlighted the importance of moving forward with governance.
"Democracy can be messy. What matters is that we’re moving forward and paving the way for a new day and a new government under President Trump come January," she stated. "If you needed any more proof that things are going to look different following Republican victories in November, this is it. The country can rest assured their government is staying open and help is on the way for Americans who are struggling."
The legislation in question will fund the federal government until March 14, 2025. It includes $100 billion dedicated to disaster relief for those impacted by natural calamities and $10 billion aimed at providing direct economic support to American farmers. Additionally, there is a one-year extension of the Farm Bill and an extension of expiring healthcare programs through March 21, 2025.
