After he voted to keep the government open in April, he got blown up by the left wing base in the country. But that's where, that's who they're answerable to these days. It is the tail wagging the dog. And Schumer doesn't seem to have any intention, at least at this point, of deviating from a strategy that would take us into a government shutdown. But I hope there are people around him on the Democrat side who see it differently. Later. Thune, I want to make sure the audience knows a couple things. (04:11–04:20)
