Harder voted against our troops and called it leadership

October 21, 2025

Three weeks of Josh Harder’s shutdown. Three weeks of excuses, finger-pointing, and failed leadership. Republicans voted to pay the troops and reopen the government. Harder voted no, and President Trump had to step in to protect America’s heroes.

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