He included statements from organizations supporting the continuing resolution (CR). The American First Policy Institute commented: “.@A1Policy: ‘The only way to keep our country on the path to delivering the America First Agenda and meaningful change is for Congress to consider and pass a clean CR before the September 30th deadline. Continuing America’s comeback success means funding our government.’” (September 19, 2025).
