The DSCC released the following statement from Communications Director Justin Barasky after Senate Republicans took the possibility of a government shutdown down to the wire:
“Today, the GOP led Senate barely avoided a disastrous government shutdown due to their obsession with partisan attacks on women’s health. Just as they did when Republicans nearly shut down the Department of Homeland Security earlier this year, the GOP majority has made it abundantly clear that they have no interest in governing responsibly. In 2016 voters will remember that Republicans have consistently placed partisanship and loyalty to special interests above what’s best for their states.”
