Riley’s shutdown leaves flights grounded

November 7, 2025

Thanks to out of touch Democrat Josh Riley, families are missing flights, small businesses are losing money, and holiday plans are in limbo. Because Democrats chose a shutdown, the FAA is slashing air traffic in high-volume markets, forcing airlines to cancel flights across the country.

Airports from coast to coast are cutting schedules as carriers comply with the federal order and cancellations are piling up. This is what happens when Democrats, including Riley, put politics over people.

“A canceled flight could mean a missed paycheck, a missed wedding, or worse. Josh Riley voted for shutdown chaos, and now families are paying the price at the airport. This is on Riley.” —  NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
