"While the bill is very bad, the potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that are much, much worse."
Speaking on the Senate Floor Thursday evening, Sen. Chuck Schumer said that he would be voting for the continuing resolution that was passed in the Republican-controlled House.
"While the bill is very bad, the potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that are much, much worse," Schumer said, adding that the "Republican bill is a terrible option. It is not a clean CR, it is deeply partisan, it doesn’t address far too many of this country’s needs, but I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even more power vio a government shutdown is a far worse option."
He said that "no one on my side of the aisle wants a government shutdown."
In private comments during a Thursday Democrat luncheon, Schumer told his colleagues that he would be voting in favor of the CR, two people familiar to the matter told Politico.
