Leader Schumer Floor Remarks On Senate Democrats’ Efforts To Fight For A Bipartisan Budget That Delivers For The American People

Washington, D.C. - Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) spoke on the Senate floor on Senate Democrats' continued efforts to fight for a bipartisan budget that delivers a more affordable life for American families. Below are Senator Schumer's remarks, which can also be viewed here:

For months, Senate Democrats have been as clear as day: we want to reach across the aisle and hammer out a budget that delivers for the American people.

Today's CR gives us the breathing room necessary to work out a budget that helps make life more affordable to working families and reins in Trump's rampant chaos, his rampant corruption.

Senate Democrats have stood up for the American people at every stage of these negotiations.

And that's why Senator Patty Murray successfully blocked Trump's scheme to withhold taxpayer-funded grants from states he deems disloyal to MAGA.

Americans of every stripe - in blue states, and in red states, and states in between - want their government to deliver for them. Senate Democrats won't stop until we get the job done.
