President Trump protected troop pay. Darren Soto voted to take it away.

November 2, 2025

Without President Trump’s swift action, military families would have missed a paycheck, all because Darren Soto refused to reopen the government. He was willing to let our soldiers go without pay rather than give up his partisan demands.

President Trump stepped in and found a way to protect troop pay. Soto didn’t and wouldn’t.

“Out of touch Democrat Darren Soto was ready to let military families miss pay. He put illegal immigrants first and our troops last. President Trump found a way to save troop pay, Darren Soto and Democrats couldn’t be bothered.” —  NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
