Schumer accused Trump and his GOP allies of selecting to attempt to ram by means of their agenda as a result of they’re “unwilling to do the hard work of bipartisan governance.”

“Trump has handed the keys of the presidency to his cronies, sycophants, and radicals who are hell-bent … to hollow out the government and cut off critical services to American communities across the country,” he mentioned.

By stressing that Democrats oppose a shutdown, Schumer gave the impression to be pushing again in opposition to solutions from some Democratic lawmakers that they could block a stopgap spending plan to protest Musk’s dramatic actions to kill total businesses like USAID and threatening to fireside authorities employees.

“A mere three weeks into the new Trump Administration and it is clear Trump’s promise of a ‘golden age’ for America seems to merely be glitter,” Schumer mentioned.

He and Home Minority Chief Hakeem Jeffries have vital leverage as a result of Congress must cross a spending invoice by March 15 or a lot of the federal government will shut down.

Although Republicans management each homes of Congress and the White Home, it gained’t essentially be simple for them to legislate. That’s as a result of the GOP solely has a three-vote edge within the Home and 60 votes are wanted to cross most legal guidelines within the Senate.

It’s unclear how Republicans plan to proceed, however they hope to cross massive chunks of Trump’s agenda utilizing the legislative sleight of hand often known as reconciliation, which can be utilized to cross some legal guidelines with solely a easy majority within the Senate.

However Republicans, particularly within the Home, are divided into factions, with some hoping to implement huge tax cuts for the rich whereas others hope to drastically reduce authorities spending.
