BIPARTISAN MAJORITY IS STILL STRONG
(Mr. LANDSMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. LANDSMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about what is at
stake right now, who is here to lead, and who we have to watch out for.
Last year, there was a small number of more extreme Members that took
this country to the brink of default, but a bipartisan majority of us
voted to stop that and to protect our economy. When the Speaker brought
us a bipartisan bill to fix air travel, that same bipartisan majority
of us voted to pass that, too.
Is that bipartisan majority gone? No. We are still here.
In fact, last night the Speaker brought to the floor a bipartisan
bill to provide meaningful tax relief for families and small
businesses, and we passed it overwhelmingly. So bring us a bipartisan
budget to protect millions of jobs and critical investments in our
families. We will pass that, too.
Bring us the bipartisan bill agreement to fix the border. We will
pass that.
The largest majority in this House is our bipartisan majority. Bring
us these bills. We will pass each and every one of them, and that is
what the American people want and need us to do.
