While Soto played politics, Trump protected our military pay

October 13, 2025

Thanks to President Trump, America’s troops will receive their paychecks, despite Democrat Darren Soto’s vote to shut down the government.

By voting to close the government, Soto threatened soldier pay and voted to hurt military families. It’s past time for Soto to end the political games and reopen the government.

“Out-of-touch Democrat Darren Soto is playing politics with our troops’ pay. Letting Washington bosses come before America’s heroes is unacceptable. Soto must end this shutdown now.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
