Continue working with Senate colleagues to fund the rest of the government before January 30 through the regular appropriations process.

I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues to fund the rest of government ahead of January 30.

Rounds commits to keep working with colleagues to complete the remaining FY2026 appropriations work before the January 30 deadline.

AP reported that the Senate voted 71-29 to fund most of the government through the end of September, but the House was not due back until Monday, so a brief shutdown over the weekend was still possible.

The Senate advanced a regular appropriations package, but it missed the deadline and still needed House action; that is only a partial fulfillment of the promise.

AP reported that Trump signed the roughly $1.2 trillion funding bill ending the partial shutdown, that the vote completed work on 11 annual appropriations bills, and that Homeland Security was only funded through Feb. 13.

The government was eventually funded through the regular appropriations process, but not before Jan. 30 and not fully for DHS, so the commitment was only partially met.

Congress.gov records H.R.5371 as Public Law 119-37 on November 12, 2025. Its CRS summary says it provided continuing appropriations for most agencies through January 30, 2026, while giving full-year FY2026 appropriations only for agriculture, military construction and veterans affairs, and legislative branch programs.

Before the January 30 deadline, most of the government was still under a continuing resolution, with only some regular appropriations enacted. This supports partial fulfillment, not full delivery.

H.R.5371 - Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act, 2026
secondary · model gpt-5.5 · confidence 96%

The enacted law states that continuing appropriations were available until enactment of applicable appropriations or January 30, 2026, whichever occurred first.

The statutory text establishes January 30, 2026 as the funding deadline for agencies still operating under the CR, showing what the promise needed to beat.

The Senate passed H.R.6938 on January 15, 2026 by 82-15. The roll call lists Rounds (R-SD) as voting Yea.

Rounds voted for a regular appropriations package before January 30, advancing part of the promised outcome.

Congress.gov records H.R.6938 as Public Law 119-74 on January 23, 2026. The bill summary says it included 3 of the 12 regular FY2026 appropriations bills.

This was a timely regular appropriations enactment before January 30, but it covered only three regular appropriations bills, so it was partial fulfillment.

The Senate passed H.R.7148, as amended, on January 30, 2026 by 71-29. The roll call lists Rounds (R-SD) as voting Yea.

Rounds helped advance the remaining funding package in the Senate by the deadline, but Senate passage alone did not fund the government before January 30.

Congress.gov records H.R.7148 passing the Senate on January 30, House agreement on February 3, and becoming Public Law 119-75 on February 3, 2026. Its summary says it included 5 of the 12 regular FY2026 appropriations bills and continuing appropriations for DHS through February 13, 2026.

The bill funded several agencies through regular appropriations, but final enactment occurred after January 30 and DHS remained on a CR, so the promise was only partly met.

GovInfo lists Public Law 119-75 as approved February 3, 2026. Division H extended the Continuing Appropriations Act date to February 13, 2026 and recognized a lapse in appropriations beginning around January 31, 2026.

The enacted text confirms final passage missed the January 30 deadline and that DHS was continued temporarily rather than fully funded through regular appropriations.
