Speaker Johnson and House GOP Leadership Give Remarks on Day 14 of Government Shutdown

Published October 14, 2025 | Video Starts at 24:33

We only need five Senate Democrats to break ranks with Chuck Schumer, vote for the same CR that they supported just six months ago, and reopen the government for the people they were elected to serve. But They have refused to do so seven times and counting. And each time that they do, hardworking Americans are forced to pay the price. Our message to Senate Democrats today is the same message we've been saying since September 19th. (24:33–24:38)

CLAIM
