Whip Emmer on government funding:

“I never share the whip count that we have, but we’re going to pass a clean continuing resolution today. It’ll go until November 21st—a short seven weeks so that the appropriations process can continue. Both sides are very close on the first three [appropriation] bills, and this is what Donald Trump wants. He wants us to get back to a normal, regular order appropriations process. We’re not there yet, but this is moving us in that direction.”

Whip Emmer on President Trump’s crime crackdown in D.C.:

“I think President Trump has shown the entire country that if you are a leader and you have the will to do what’s necessary, you can make America safe again. What he’s done in the District of Columbia is nothing short of phenomenal. I mean you’ve already got almost 3,000 arrests since the crime crackdown here in the District of Columbia, [and] confiscated almost 300 illegal guns.”
