Nevada's U.S. Senators Vote to End Government Shutdown

Senators Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto issued statements after voting in favor of a deal to reopen the government following a rare Sunday Senate session.

Moderate Democrats Agreement

A group of moderate Democrats agreed to advance the reopening without a guaranteed extension of health care subsidies.

Opposition to Rising Health Care Costs

Both Senators Rosen and Cortez Masto have actively opposed increasing health care expenses during the shutdown.

Senator Jacky Rosen said, "President Trump and Republicans are weaponizing their power to bring suffering to working people."

She also committed to continuing the fight for Republican extension of Affordable Care Act tax credits after her vote.

Senator Cortez Masto stated, "I know the pain people are feeling during the government shutdown."

Once the government reopens, she plans to prioritize passing a full, bipartisan 2026 budget to restore funding cuts made by President Trump.
