This call to action was emphasized in a recent White House press release.
The release stated, "Now it is up to Republicans in Congress to do their job, stop threatening to shut down the government, and fulfill their primary responsibility to fund critical homeland and national security priorities, including my additional request. Now is the time for them to act."
President Biden also highlighted that the current agreement brings the United States a step closer to avoiding an unnecessary government shutdown and safeguarding key national priorities. He noted, "It reflects the funding levels that I agreed with both parties," underscoring the bipartisan nature of the proposed budgetary allocations.
