Schumer Sets Up Fight Over Health Care

“Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) is preparing for a confrontation with President Donald Trump over government funding, insisting that Democrats will not vote to avert an Oct. 1 shutdown unless Republicans agree to reverse some of Trump’s policies,” the Washington Post reports.

“Schumer declared Thursday that Democrats would reject Republicans’ proposal to fund the government unless the GOP made concessions on health care, echoing an argument that he and House Democratic leaders made publicly earlier this week.”
