FDP Chair Terrie Rizzo released the following statement after Senators Rubio and Scott voted no on the CR — which would’ve ended the shutdown and opened the federal government today:
“Senators Rubio and Scott showed Floridians that their priority is to please Trump at any cost – and today that cost comes at a high price for thousands of Floridians who haven’t received a paycheck in over four weeks. It’s unconscionable that Florida’s Senators would not vote to reopen the government today and end the needless suffering that’s been placed on federal workers – all so Trump can get his way. Senators Rubio and Scott failed Floridians today.”
