Eastern Panhandle Talk: U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (9.17.25)

Published | Video Starts at 02:35

Can you take us through the civics part of this in terms of how many votes you need to have in the Senate to get a CR passed? Is that a simple majority? No, it's not. It's 60 votes. And we need, so we need it to be bipartisan. Again, the leader, Chuck Schumer, as the Democrat leader, has said that he will not support it and that he wants to attach really a Obamacare premium that's set to expire at the end of the year, which is $300 billion. (02:35–02:41)
