PHOENIX — Arizona politicians took to X, reacting to the passage of a continuing resolution that ended the longest U.S. government shutdown ever.
The final vote tally in the House of Representatives was 222-209 with all Arizona representatives voting along party lines.
It was signed by President Donald Trump around 8:30 p.m. Mountain Standard Time.
Reps Andy Biggs, Eli Crane and Juan Ciscomani all expressed pride for voting in favor of the measure.
“I was proud to vote for this bill to reopen the government and restore regular order in Congress for the American people,” Ciscomani said.
Biggs noted the length of the government shutdown – 43 days – calling it “unnecessary pain inflicted” on Americans.
Among Democrats, Rep. Greg Stanton said his “no” vote on the bill comes down to health care.
“This fight isn’t about politics, it’s about whether a family can afford to take their kid to the hospital or gamble on not doing so,” Stanton said.

On a separate note that needs to be learned by Repubs. The economy is supposedly great. Numbers say so. But like the 2024 election when we were told "its good" we NEED to feel it. And to be honest, its not there period. So the Socialist get it but with a pizz poor answer. So until my favorite watering hole stops changing its menu (aka raising prices) and the grocery stores stop with the gouging, etc., dissent will grow!!! I get it.
True. If the Dems had focused on things like this they might have won, and wouldn’t be negotiating on healthcare for the poor from a position of weakness.
McCain had a front row seat to watch the cruelty as his party planned to strip away healthcare from tens of millions of Americans and let them fend for themselves.
I am totally supportive of repealing ACA and replacing it with a better, cheaper alternative. So was McCain. But that was all a lie — they didn’t have any ideas for a replacement, they still don’t, and their plan all along has been simply to take it away and give them the finger. You can’t negotiate the details of a replacement when the other side is “negotiating” in bad faith. They’re selfish people who fundamentally don’t care if poor people die of treatable diseases because they can’t afford the treatment.
