A day after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said there weren’t enough Democratic votes to advance the House GOP’s government funding bill, Schumer indicated that, on second thought, at least some Democrats would vote for the legislation and work with Republicans to avert a shutdown.
In other words, Schumer said, Democrats are caving.
“Unless Congress acts, the government will shut down tomorrow at midnight,” Schumer said Thursday evening, lamenting that Republicans wouldn’t support a one-month continuing resolution to continue spending negotiations on a bipartisan deal.
