Senator Schumer Asks Democrats Not to Bring Up Gun Control or Other Unrelated Amendments in Budget Debate

Share:

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) urged his fellow Democrats on Wednesday not to insert any gun control or other unrelated amendments into budget negotiations.

Instead, Senator Schumer said his caucus should focus on opposing the Republican tax cut proposal, tax increases on the middle-class, cuts to Medicare or Medicaid, and adding to the deficit. He said he wanted to avoid a drawn-out process with multiple off-topic votes.

“I would like and I am urging my caucus to limit it to four issues,” Schumer told the Hill. “Those are the four issues we’d like to focus on instead of doing a long vote-a-rama on every other issue.”

Democrats and their allies in the gun control movement have pushed for new gun control measures in the wake of the Las Vegas shooting on Oct. 1. Gun control activists said Democrats need to pursue the new gun control measures they’ve expressed support for. – READ MORE
