Blumenthal Statement on Passage of a Continuing Resolution to Keep the Government Open

[WASHINGTON, D.C.] – U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) released the following statement today after the Senate voted to approve a Continuing Resolution to fund the government through early next year:

“This continuing resolution accomplishes the bare minimum – it keeps the government open and funded – but it was passed with clear bipartisan majorities and without egregious partisan brinksmanship. I am hopeful that we can move ahead with a full spending bill – including robust funding for both Israel and Ukraine – in the same spirit of cooperation.”
