Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer Speaks to the Press | LIVE

HAPPENING NOW—SCHUMER SPEAKS TO THE PRESS: Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is joined by Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) for a media availability.

The senators are expected to discuss the need for Congress to pass Pres. Biden’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, specifically in light of the country surpassing 500,000 American deaths from COVID-19. They're also likely to address the latest senators who have come out in opposition to Biden’s Office of Management and Budget nominee Neera Tanden.

You know what the issue is, not just with America, but you gotta stop trying to compete with eachother saying you gotta be "first"and the "best", you have to learn to work together to solve problems. This way we can all succeed, there is no success without Humility
