?si=SsFDAenJpPDcGlpt

In this video Sen. Chuck Schumer attempts to explain why he supported the recent CR despite opposition from many of his fellow Democrats. During the interview, Sen. Schumer said he supported the CR because if the government had been allowed to shut down, Trump, Musk, and Republicans would have been left in charge of government. Schumer said the government being closed would have allowed Trump and Musk to continue closing down government agencies. Schumer also said he was told by a Republican that if the government was closed down Republicans were going to keep the government closed for six months and continue to shut down government agencies.
