Chuck Schumer, leader of the minority of the Senate minorities Senate floor On Thursday evening, he supported the GOP expenditure act, pressing the Senate Republicans pressure so that the government was open and avoid partial closure.
Schumer’s decision to develop the expenditure act supported by Trump, which finances government operations by the end of September, is a struggle for a high drama about whether the Democrats of the Senate are willing to fall in the field of partial closing of the government. The government is to undergo a partial closing on Friday after midnight of the absence of at least eight democratic colleagues, joining the Republican Senate to develop a six-month alloy expenditure, called continuous resolution (CR), to overcome the 60-voice Filibuster Senate.
“Although the CR bill is very bad, the closure potential has consequences for America, which are much, much worse”, Schumer said. “Mr. President, I think that my task is to make the best choice for the country to minimize damage to the American people, which is why I will vote for maintaining an open government and not close it.”
“The closure will be high-priced to distract attention from this most significant fight [against President Donald Trump]Schumer added.
It is expected that the Democrats sufficiently sufficiently join Schmer to develop the GOP expenditure account, which gives the government closing, for which the Democrats of the Senate were probably blamed for causing.
“Democrats will have to pay the closure price because they invite you to close,” most of the senate, John Barrasso, told journalists on Thursday morning before the announcement of Schumer. “It seems that they are proud to close.”
Some Senate Democrats were heard shouting during a fierce debate with their colleagues about how to continue CR on Thursday afternoon.
Republicans of the Senate consistently indicate that Schumer did not bring bilateral bills for funds that fainted from the commission to the floor to consider when he led the Senate controlled by democratic during the last congress.
“If the democrats here in the Senate do not join us as Republicans to convey something along this nature, close the government”, Senator of Western Virginia Shelley Moore Capito he said Bloomberg TV on March 5.
Schumer he said Wednesday that Democrats will oppose the GOP government financing act. Instead, he called on the Senate Republicans to consider a 30-day short-term act on financing developed by democratic counterparts to give counterparts more time to negotiate the Omnibus expenditure package, which was probably not a start for the management of the GOP Senate.
“Government financing should be a double -sided effort, but the Republicans chose the guerrilla path, developing their own [continuing resolution] Without any contribution – any contribution – from the Democrats Congress – said Schumer on the Senate floor on Wednesday afternoon. “For this reason, Republicans have no votes in the Senate to cite a clotch in the CR House.”
“Our club is united in cleanliness [CR through April 11] Thanks to this, the government will be open and will give Congress time to negotiate bilateral regulations that they can go, “said Schumer.
The Senate is to have procedural voting to develop CR on Friday.
