Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Thursday that he would support the CR to keep the government funded through Sept. 30, Punchbowl News reports.
Said Schumer: “While the CR bill is very bad, the potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that are much, much worse. I will vote to keep the government open, and not shut it down.”
Schumer’s statement indicates Democrats will vote to end the filibuster and allow the House-passed CR to get through the Senate.
Wall Street Journal: Democrats clear way for GOP bill, ending threat of shutdown.
