"Yes. I think that Sen. Schumer has held the line during this seven-week fight, held Senate Democrats together, and continues to strongly oppose this effort by Republicans to enact a spending bill that doesn't meet the needs of the American people as it relates to extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits, Jeffries said, continuing. He voted to no on the procedural bill that was before the Senate,"
"On Sunday night, Schumer derided the eight senate Democrats who defected to vote for the continuing resolution and pave the way to reopen the government. Still, local Democrats like Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CN), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) all expressed their frustrations with having nothing to show after a 40-day shutdown that saw the end of food subsidies and pay for federal workers."
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries praised Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for maintaining unity during a seven-week fight and opposing a Republican spending bill that does not extend Affordable Care Act tax credits. Schumer publicly derided eight Senate Democrats who defected to vote for the continuing resolution that reopened the government. Local Democrats including Sen. Chris Murphy, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Ro Khanna and Rep. Seth Moulton expressed frustration after a 40-day shutdown that ended food subsidies and paused federal worker pay. Jeffries said Schumer voted no on the procedural Senate bill and expected him to continue opposing the measure. Jeffries blamed New Hampshire Democrat Jean Shaheen for brokering her own deal and disrupting Senate unity.
