Senators Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto spoke out after voting to back a deal aimed at reopening the government.
The Senate convened unusually on a Sunday, when moderate Democrats agreed to move forward without a guaranteed extension of health care subsidies. Throughout the shutdown, many Democrats, including Rosen and Masto, have worked to combat rising health care costs.
Senator Jacky Rosen accused President Trump and Republicans of using their power to cause hardship for working Americans.
She vowed to continue fighting for the extension of Affordable Care Act tax credits.
Senator Cortez Masto acknowledged the pain experienced by people during the shutdown.
She pledged to prioritize passing a bipartisan budget for 2026 once the government reopens, aiming to restore funding cuts made by President Trump.
Nevada's senators have actively supported measures to end the government shutdown, emphasizing health care relief and restoring budget funding for 2026.
