Schumer Regrets Democrats Triggered ‘Nuclear Option’

Sen. Chuck Schumer told CNN that the Democrats’ “move to diminish the number of senators needed to confirm Cabinet picks from 60 votes to 51, because the new rule now hurts his party.”

Said Schumer: “I argued against it at the time. I said both for Supreme Court and in Cabinet should be 60 because on such important positions there should be some degree of bipartisanship. I won on Supreme Court, lost on Cabinet. But it’s what we have to live with now.”
