Washington —
This
afternoon,
the
Senate
voted
to
end
the
Schumer
Shutdown.
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
released
the
following
statement
after
voting
to
fund
our
military
and
children’s
health
care:
“Unfortunately,
my
colleagues
on
the
left
chose
to
play
a
political
game
that
caused
the
Schumer
Shutdown,
jeopardizing health
care
for
millions
of vulnerable children
and
funding
for
our
brave
men
and
women
in
uniform. Senate
Democrats
have
finally
made
the
right
decision
to
end
their
political
game
and
reopen
the
government — finding
a
permanent
solution
for
Dreamers
is
an
important
but
unrelated
issue.
"It
is
absolutely
critical
for
us
to
ensure
our
troops
have
the
support
they
need, extend
the
Children’s
Health
Insurance
Program
(CHIP)
for
six
years,
and
keep
the
government
up
and
running. Now,
let’s
get
back
to
working
for
the
American
people."
