U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy from Louisiana announced his support for a continuing resolution aimed at preventing a government shutdown. The measure ensures the continuation of several key programs and services.

In his statement, Senator Cassidy emphasized alignment with prominent Republican figures, stating, “I’m on the same team as President Trump and Speaker Johnson. Despite Democrats stalling, we kept the government open by standing united.” He highlighted specific provisions of the bill, noting that it maintained funding for the flood insurance program, ensured payment for military personnel, and addressed issues of government inefficiency.

The decision comes amidst ongoing political negotiations in Washington, where lawmakers are working to balance fiscal responsibilities with necessary governmental functions.
