Senate Democrats Won’t Help Pass Funding Bill

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) “said on Wednesday that Democrats would refuse to back a stopgap bill to fund the government through Sept. 30, significantly raising the chances of a government shutdown at the end of the week,” the New York Times reports.

Said Schumer: “Our caucus is unified on a clean April 11 C.R. that will keep the government open and give Congress time to negotiate bipartisan legislation that can pass.”
