Trump led, Perez played politics

October 21, 2025

Three weeks of Marie Gluesenkamp Perez’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 Marie Gluesenkamp Perez put politics ahead of paychecks. President Trump showed leadership; Perez showed contempt.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
