Josh Riley voted to block troop pay
October 18, 2025
Day 18 and Democrats still haven’t apologized for trying to stiff our troops. Eighteen days into the Democrats’ shutdown, the only reason troops have been paid is because President Trump acted while Democrats refused. Republicans voted to keep paychecks flowing; Democrats voted to shut them off.
“Democrat Josh Riley’s shutdown was a direct attack on America’s defenders. President Trump had their backs when Riley turned his.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
