‘We Can’t Wait for the House’

Sen. Chuck Schumer “is instructing three top Democratic committee leaders to hammer out a deal with Republicans on an aid package for Israel that could pass in the coming weeks,” Politico reports.

Said Schumer: “We can’t wait for the House, who knows what will happen there? The Senate will go first. It’s my hope that if the Senate can move quickly and pass something with strong bipartisan support we can importune the House to act.”
