House Democrats are warning about the far-reaching consequences of a government shutdown despite recently opposing Republicans’ efforts to fund the government.

Democratic lawmakers returned to Washington on Monday, vowing to keep the government open despite voting against a GOP spending bill currently under consideration in the Senate that would temporarily fund government operations. Many Democrats have expressed fears about the negative consequences their constituents could face during a shutdown, but do not appear to regret their vote against funding government operations.

“Make no mistake: A shutdown would disrupt vital services, halt disaster relief, and put countless federal employees out of work,” Democratic Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar wrote in a lengthy post to the social media platform X on Monday. “At the end of the day, a government shutdown doesn’t impact politicians – it harms everyday Americans.”

Cuellar and 210 of his fellow Democrats voted against a seven-week funding plan — known as a clean continuing resolution (CR) — offered by House Republican leadership on Sept. 19. Maine Rep. Jared Golden was the lone Democratic lawmaker to buck his party and vote to avert a government shutdown.
