“With a partial government shutdown looming on March 1, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer warned today that House Republicans – and former President Donald Trump – would take the blame,” Punchbowl News reports.
Said Schumer: “While we’ve made some good progress on a number of fronts, unfortunately our House Republican colleagues are still struggling to figure themselves out…”
He adds: “We want to work with all our House counterparts to spare the American people of the pain that a shutdown would bring. But for that to happen, congressional leadership must resist the centrifugal pull of extremism emanating from the hard right. We must resist basing our choices on what people like Donald Trump want Congress to do.”
