How can one man be so hated by some, yet adored by others? Because he's Chuck Schumer! The U.S. Senate has approved the short-term spending bill that will get America running until mid-April.
It sparked deep divisions within the party lines, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., joined the fray and cast his vote to approve the bill. To the annoyance of democrats everywhere.
"As bad as passing the CR is, allowing Donald Trump to take even more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option," Schumer said on the Senate floor Thursday.
Republicans rejoiced, once again, causing intense controversy and fury amongst the Democrats. They unanimously opposed the bill.
"I think there is a deep sense of outrage and betrayal and this is not just progressive Democrats — this is across the board, the entire party," New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told reporters Thursday night at a party retreat in Leesburg, Va.
"I think it is a huge slap in the face," she said.
From NPR:
"This president has put us in a position where, in either direction lots of people's constituents are gonna get hurt, and hurt badly," said Heinrich, who voted against advancing the bill. "I think when you confront a bully, you have to confront a bully. And I'm not gonna vote for this CR. But I fully respect people who've come to a different conclusion because in either pathway — this is a president who is very comfortable with the pain that either direction will create."
We have 1 month of reprieve before the next spending bill will be announced. And yes, we expect hell to break loose when that one is presented.
Just watch.
