Vindman Still Won’t Say Why He Voted Against Paying Our Troops

October 21, 2025

While House Republicans voted to keep America’s government open and ensure our servicemembers get paid, Eugene Vindman voted no, putting politics before the patriots who protect us. Now, even after President Trump stepped in and fixed his mess, Vindman still won’t answer one simple question: why did he vote against paying our troops?

“Eugene Vindman voted to shut down the government, cut off pay to our servicemembers, and then tried to spin his way out of it. The American people won’t forget who stood with the troops, and who turned their backs.” – NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson
