John Hoeven Criticizes Chuck Schumer's Stance on Clean CR Amidst Government Shutdown

Criticism of Schumer's "False Premise"

• 🎯 Senator John Hoeven criticizes Senator Chuck Schumer for his caucus voting "no" on a Continuing Resolution (CR) during a government shutdown.
• 💡 Hoeven argues that Schumer's justification – that the CR lacks Democrat priorities – is a "false premise" because it also lacks Republican priorities, making it a clean CR.
• ⚠️ Hoeven points out the inconsistency of Democrats, who passed CRs 13 times with 96% support during the Biden administration, now refusing to vote for a clean CR.

Advocating for "Regular Order"

• 🏛️ Hoeven highlights that Senate Republican leaders are bringing appropriations bills to the floor, having already passed three with bipartisan majorities, which he calls "regular order."
• 🤝 He questions what Democrats, specifically Senator Schumer, have against this process where all 100 senators are involved in passing appropriations bills.
• ✅ Hoeven believes that a clean CR sets up this process of regular order, which serves the American people, and urges both Republicans and Democrats to support it.
