Schumer Threatens Government Shutdown

“Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is warning Republicans they’ll risk a government shutdown all alone if they ram through cuts to PBS and foreign aid,” Axios reports.

“Now he just needs them to take that threat seriously.”

“A shutdown fight in this political climate could put Democratic senators under the most intense pressure of their careers. But the threat of a shutdown is Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) only real leverage.”
