WASHINGTON – Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) joined Balance of Power on Bloomberg to discuss the vote to end the government shutdown in the United States House of Representatives and a proposed Senate crypto market structure bill that would build upon the CLARITY Act.
"It’s time for the government to be reopened and to end this shutdown created by Chuck Schumer and the Democrats":
"I’m voting yes tomorrow. It’s time for the government to be reopened and to end this shutdown created by Chuck Schumer and the Democrats. To be blunt, we’re still not even sure what they shut down the government for in the first place, but we’re excited to get back to work and get this to the president’s desk as quickly as possible."
"If we don't actually create the frameworks for this, we fall further behind to China, to Europe, and some of our rivals on the world stage":
"I think we're probably going to end up sitting down and coming to an agreement between the two chambers on this. The one thing that's very clear, I'm happy that my Senate colleagues are taking this seriously. AI, quantum computing, the future of energy for our country - these are critical components to our economic future. If we don't actually create the frameworks for this, we fall further behind to China, to Europe, and some of our rivals on the world stage. So, this is actually important stuff that we can get done. I'm very happy that AI and quantum is not a partisan issue because it's really about the future of our economy. And so, let's see what they have. We will work together with them and try to get something done that's going to put the American people first and actually be in the best interest of our country."
