Press Release

Washington, D.C. – House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (CA-23) appeared on CNBC’s Squawk Box today to discuss the Schumer Shutdown.

Excerpts of the interview are below, or watch online…

Senate Democrats have shut down the government over something that has nothing to do with this funding bill or with putting the American people first. 

Why are you holding our troops and the government hostage for an unrelated immigration fight?

I am frankly astounded that so many Democrat representatives would cast a vote to allow the killing of newborn children.

This is a clean government funding bill that pays our troops, supports our veterans, keeps government open.
