Day 14: McDonald Rivet Started the Shutdown, Stopped Paychecks

October 14, 2025

Today is Day 14 of out of touch Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet’s government shutdown. While House Republicans voted to keep paychecks flowing for America’s servicemembers, out of touch Democrats like McDonald Rivet voted no, choosing politics over patriots. Thankfully, President Trump has stepped in and fixed it, ensuring our troops get paid even as McDonald Rivet shut the government down.

“The fact that Kristen McDonald Rivet is willing to stiff our troops says everything you need to know about her priorities. While House Republicans fought to keep paychecks going, McDonald Rivet played politics and left our servicemembers behind.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
