What People Are Saying

Florida Republican Congressman Cory Mills, who voted no on Thursday's bill, posted to X, formerly Twitter on Friday saying, "SINGLE SUBJECT BILLS," with an emoji of an American flag.

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert posted on X on Friday saying, "Dems are opposing this CR+ without Debt Limit during the Floor debate. Bringing this bill under suspension of the rules requires 2/3 of the voting body to pass. NOT a simple majority. Are we delivering another failure only to realize the people demand SINGLE SUBJECT BILLS?"

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said on Fox Friday morning, "I think that President Trump would be much better off to let the government close, to let Biden sit there as a totally incompetent president presiding over a mess, and to go to the country and say to the country, 'I am not going to be a president who sells you out."

Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social on Friday, "If there is going to be a shutdown of government, let it begin now, under the Biden Administration, not after January 20th, under 'TRUMP.' This is a Biden problem to solve, but if Republicans can help solve it, they will!"

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries spoke about the newly revised bill saying, "What needed to come out of the bill came out of the bill," according to Axios reporter Andrew Solender.

Newsweek has reached out to House Speaker Mike Johnson's office for comment via email Friday night.
