Bynum voted against troop pay and blamed everyone else

October 21, 2025

Three weeks of Janelle Bynum’s shutdown. Three weeks of excuses, finger-pointing, and failed leadership. Republicans voted to pay the troops, reopen the government, and President Trump had to step in to protect America’s heroes.

“Democrats like Janelle Bynum put politics ahead of paychecks. President Trump showed leadership; Bynum showed contempt.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
