Schumer Lashes Out After Senate Republicans Block Debt Limit Hike
Chuck Schumer
The Senate GOP on Monday blocked a measure that would raise the debt ceiling.
The bill needed 60 “yea” votes to overcome the filibuster and open debate.
The vote total was 48 ‘yeas’ to 50 ‘nays’ – and Schumer blew a gasket.
Schumer is expected to bring another vote to the floor later this week before government funding expires at 11:59:59 pm et Thursday.
3) So Schumer will tee up another vote later this week.
Congress has until early October to hike the debt limit.
But government funding expires at 11:59:59 pm et Thursday.
