Republicans Showed Leadership, Golden’s Democrats Showed Contempt
October 20, 2025
Three weeks of Jared Golden’s Democrats’ shutdown. Three weeks of excuses, finger-pointing, and failed leadership. Republicans voted to pay the troops and reopen the government. Democrats voted no, and President Trump had to step in to protect America’s heroes.
“Jared Golden’s Democrats put politics ahead of paychecks. President Trump showed leadership; Democrats showed contempt.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
