Day 20: Kaptur’s Shutdown Cut Pay for Troops

October 21, 2025

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

“Democrats like Marcy Kaptur put politics ahead of paychecks. President Trump showed leadership; Kaptur showed contempt.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
