In the lead-up to the bill's passage, Democrats repeatedly blasted Republicans for going back on the budget cut deal they struck to raise the debt ceiling.

'And we own that, and we have to do something about it, and you know what? My Democratic colleagues will have an opportunity to do something about that too, and we will see if they bail out our failed Speaker.' 'The one thing I agree with my Democrat colleagues on is that for the last eight months, this House has been poorly led,' Gaetz said on the House floor on Tuesday. Matt Gaetz, for example, said over the past month that McCarthy was risking his leadership spot by choosing to appease Democrats on a government funding bill, and not delivering on all of conservatives' demands. While the shutdown has been averted for now, it once again put McCarthy's leadership to the test. While Social Security payments would continue to go out, for example, limited staff administering the program would result in delays in getting a new card, along with getting help with overpayment. The consequences of a shutdown would have been drastic for thousands of federal workers, along with Americans who rely on a range of federal programs. The Senate voted 88-9 on the bill, with all 'Nos' coming from Republican lawmakers, including Senators Marsha Blackburn, Mike Braun, Ted Cruz, Bill Hagerty, Mike Lee, Roger Marshall, Rand Paul, Eric Schmitt, and JD Vance. This is good news for the American people.'

'This bill ensures that active-duty troops will continue to get paid, travelers will be spared airport delays, millions of women and children will continue to have access to vital nutrition assistance, and so much more. 'Tonight, bipartisan majorities in the House and Senate voted to keep the government open, preventing an unnecessary crisis that would have inflicted needless pain on millions of hardworking Americans,' President Joe Biden said in a statement shared late Saturday evening. Notably, the bill did not contain more funding for Ukraine, a key objection for some Republicans.
