## Transcript

We believe the long national nightmare will be over tonight. It was completely and utterly foolish and pointless in the end. As we said all along, I just want to apologize to any Americans who are out there who still have flight cancellations or delays today. I want to apologize to the many American families who are made to go hungry. Over the last several weeks, our troops and other federal employees who are wondering where their next paycheck would come from. All of that's on the Democrats. Just never forget they voted 15 times between the House and the Senate to close your government. And the Republicans tried every single day of the shutdown to open it.

And we voted 15 times to do that. Um, they have a lot to answer for. And I just want to say that we're very optimistic about the vote tally tonight. We think this is going to happen, and we're sorry that it took this long. So Republicans are going to deliver for the people. We're ready to get back to our legislative agenda. We have a very aggressive calendar for the remainder of this year. There'll be some long days and nights here, some long working weeks, but we will get this thing back on track. So thank you all. Stay tuned for more tonight. House Democrats will continue to support our men and women in uniform.

We will continue to support hardworking federal employees. We will continue to support our law enforcement personnel. House Democrats will continue to support our air traffic controllers. We will continue to support our TSA agents. We will continue to support our civil servants who have been under attack since day one of the Trump administration. But we cannot support the Republican effort to gut the health care of the American people. Now Republicans control the House, the Senate and the presidency. They own the mess that has been created in the United States of America. They own it. And our message to the American people is, no matter what happens on the floor later on today, our promise to you remains the same.

House Democrats will continue to fight to make your life more affordable. House Democrats will continue the fight to address the Republican health care crisis, and House Democrats will fight to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits. This fight is not over. We're just getting started.
