Statement from
President Joe Biden on the Bipartisan Government Funding Bill
BRIEFING
ROOM •
STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
The bipartisan funding bill I just signed keeps the
government open, invests in the American people, and
strengthens our economy and national security. This
agreement represents a compromise, which means neither
side got everything it wanted. But it rejects extreme
cuts from House Republicans and expands access to child
care, invests in cancer research, funds mental health
and substance use care, advances American leadership
abroad, and provides resources to secure the border that
my Administration successfully fought to include. That’s
good news for the American people.
But I want to be clear: Congress’s work isn’t finished. The House must pass the bipartisan national security supplemental to advance our national security interests. And Congress must pass the bipartisan border security agreement—the toughest and fairest reforms in decades—to ensure we have the policies and funding needed to secure the border. It’s time to get this done.
