Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer appears to have caved on the budget.
Schumer said he intends to vote in favor of cloture which would allow for the GOP to pass the budget with a simple majority.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) indicated Thursday that he intends to vote in favor of cloture, which would allow Senate Republicans to need only a simple majority to enact the House-passed continuing resolution to fund the federal government through September.
If Democrats do not move to waive cloture, Senate Republicans would need the help of multiple Democrats in order to pass the bill. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has announced his opposition to the legislation, meaning that eight Senate Democrats would need to join with Republicans in order to avoid a shutdown.
…
Less than 24 hours later, Schumer appears to be backing down on the shutdown threat from Senate Democrats. According to a report from ABC News, Democrats are working on a plan that would give Republicans the necessary votes to advance the bill in exchange for a vote on their own amendment, which would allow for a 30-day stopgap measure in order to allow additional negotiations on a budget bill.
Some Democrats are fuming at Schumer over this.
AOC said, “I cannot underscore enough how incorrect that is.”
Susan Rice said, “WTF? @SenSchumer please grow a spine. And quickly.”
“I cannot underscore enough how incorrect that is,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said of Schumer’s argument. “What voting for this CR does is that it codifies the chaos and the reckless cuts that Elon Musk has been pursuing, the robbing of our federal government in order to finance tax cuts for billionaires is what is happening. And that is what Senate Democrats will be empowering if they vote for this CR.”
“Respectfully Senator Schumer, no,” Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, D-N.J., wrote on X. “This Republican bill is bad for workers, bad for our veterans, bad for our seniors. Republicans should pull it and let us get back to work crafting a budget that works for all of our families.”
“WTF? @SenSchumer please grow a spine. And quickly,” wrote Susan Rice, who served as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and then as national security advisor during President Barack Obama’s administration. She later served as domestic policy advisor during a portion of President Joe Biden’s administration.
“It is clear that some of us understand the present danger & some don’t!” Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, declared on X. “I stand by the NO vote on the blank check for Trump & Elon… I’ve got no explanation nor agreement with Senate Dems being complicit in Trump’s Tyranny.”
The Democrat party is in complete disarray.
