Schumer Basically Surrenders, Will Vote For Funding The Government

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


If only we could get a real budget, and one that cuts spending, first by cutting waste, fraud, and idiocy. Politico has it like this

Democrats should back away from shutdown, Schumer says

Back away, eh? The HuffPost says it more succinctly

Chuck Schumer Will Vote To Advance GOP Funding Bill, Signaling Surrender

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced on Thursday that he would vote to advance Republican legislation funding the government, likely easing the way for the bill’s passage as early as Friday.

“While the [continuing resolution] is very bad, the potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that are much, much worse,” Schumer said in a speech on the Senate floor. “Allowing Donald Trump to take even more power is a far worse option.”

“Under a shutdown, Trump and Elon Musk would have carte blanche to destroy vital government services at a significantly faster rate than they can right now,” he added.

The New York Democrat did not urge other Democrats to vote for the bill, but it was a clear signal for his colleagues to hold their noses and vote to avert a shutdown.

Say what you will about Chuck, he’s not an idiot, and he knows that, after bloviating and stuff for a few days, Americans will blame Democrats for a shutdown, and, yeah, Trump and DOGE will have more power to do their thing. And the headline at the NY Times says

Trump Administration Live Updates: Schumer Says Enough Democrats Will Vote to Avert Government Shutdown

All they have to do is vote to end cloture, get their 60 votes, and then none of them have to actually vote for the CR.
