High Democrats in Congress say they continue to be united behind a bipartisan, bicameral path to fund the federal government, however they are saying just lately handed Republican-backed funding clawbacks might make that more durable to realize.
In a joint press convention on July 22, Senate Majority Chief Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Home Minority Chief Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) criticized the GOP’s method to federal spending, particularly pointing to the $9 billion rescissions package deal handed by the Home and Senate this previous week.
