Trump said that congressional Republicans, including Leader John Thune and Speaker Mike Johnson, are working to push for a short-term, no-strings-attached government funding extension bill to prevent Chuck Schumer from causing a government shutdown. He stressed that Republicans must unite now to fight back against the unreasonable demands of radical left-wing Democrats. He also called on Republicans to vote in favor of both votes required in the House of Representatives this week to pass a no-strings-attached short-term spending bill, pointing out that Democrats want the government to shut down while Republicans want the government to operate normally. He said that Democrats condone crime and Republicans keep the country safe and hate crime, and that failure is never an option.
