Whitesides put politics over paying America’s troops

November 4, 2025

Our heroes were on the brink of missing pay because George Whitesides chose political games over governing. Instead of helping, Whitesides held our troops’ livelihoods hostage for leverage. President Trump stepped in to ensure our troops got paid and House Republicans backed him up. Whitesides needs to explain why protecting partisan power mattered more than paying the men and women who serve.

“President Trump found a way to protect our troops’ pay when George Whitesides was too busy playing politics. Our troops shouldn’t be bargaining chips, they deserve paychecks and support, not partisan games.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
