Sen. Schumer calls for passage of Sen. Graham-led sanctions package

Published | Video Starts at 02:07

I know if Senator Graham were here in the chamber today, he would also join me in urging the Senate to support Ukraine and strengthen sanctions on Russia. I urge Senator Thune, in honor of Lindsey, to put the sanctions, the Russian sanctions bill, on the floor immediately. It will pass overwhelmingly and help our allies in Ukraine. Not seeing eye to eye is no reason to be blind to the way forward. (02:07–02:16)
