Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan has stated that she will withhold her decision on how to vote to fund the government until the Trump administration assures that money will be spent as intended by Congress. She expressed concern that the President has been making spending decisions outside of Congressional approval. Despite criticism from fellow Democrats, a short-term funding bill to avert a government shutdown was introduced by Speaker Mike Johnson. Slotkin, who has been critical of the lack of leadership in the Democratic party, emphasized the need for the party to confront its issues and present a clear plan. She also addressed Rep. Al Green’s disruptive behavior during Trump’s speech to Congress, stating that while she understands his passion, she does not agree with his approach. Slotkin called for both Democrats and Republicans to act responsibly and work together to balance the federal budget, acknowledging that the current political climate makes it difficult to find common ground. She emphasized the importance of living within the country’s means without cutting essential services or significantly increasing the national debt.
