Congresswoman Beatty’s Statement on Bipartisan Budget Agreement

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Bipartisan Budget Act. Immediately following the vote, U.S. Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03) issued the following statement:

"Today, I voted ‘yes’ on the bipartisan budget agreement to prevent a devastating default on America and to protect Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Veterans’ healthcare benefits,” said Beatty.

Also, Beatty’s vote protected SNAP, TANF, our foster children, and the homeless from the worst Republican draconian cuts on our nation’s most vulnerable populations. “When President Biden called me earlier today, we agreed that defaulting on our debt was simply not an option — and, I thanked him for his leadership. I’m proud to stand with Leader Jeffries and House Democrats to continue our fight against MAGA extremism."
