Amodei Reacts to Dysfunction in the Senate Over $1.8 Trillion Omnibus

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today U.S. Representative Mark E. Amodei (NV-02) issued the following statement as we wait for the Senate on act on the Fiscal Year 2023 Omnibus:

“For those of you confused by the years-long irresponsibility of never completing spending bills under Regular Order, when the Committee of jurisdiction in the mess that is the Senate failed to markup a single Appropriations bill this year, please remember that with a 50-50 split party control in the Senate and Kamala Harris being the tie-breaking vote, this is as to be expected, and not good stuff. What should be a “clean bill” – is instead a $1.8 trillion-dollar, 4,155-page bill laden with partisan initiatives. For those concerned that several Senate Republicans will vote alongside Chuck Schumer, please feel free to rain down your thoughts on them. And get ready, because you have two more weeks of misery with Democrat control in the House and the Senate until January 2, 2023.

“When the Omnibus vote comes to the House, however, leave no room for concern, because Republicans on this side of the Chamber will be unified with an overwhelming “no” vote.”
