every other issue before congress pales in comparison, this one is for all the marbles
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is calling on Democrats to work together to pass a major spending package before the end of this month as part of a broader push to advance major elements of President Biden's domestic agenda.
In a letter sent Thursday to Senate Democrats, Schumer says he plans to bring up a critical voting rights bill next week and move forward with a social spending bill by the end of the month.
"To pass meaningful legislation, we must put aside our differences and find the common ground within our party," Schumer wrote of the spending bill. "As with any bill of such historic proportions, not every member will get everything he or she wants."
The spending debate has overshadowed talks on most other priorities that Biden and Democrats promised voters during the 2020 campaign. But Schumer has promised that the Freedom to Vote Act will come up for a key procedural vote next week.
