Leader Schumer Floor Remarks After Forcing A Full Reading Of Republicans’ “Big, Ugly Bill”

Washington, D.C. – Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) today spoke on the Senate floor to announce that Democrats will force a full reading of Senate Republicans’ thousand-page megabill to ensure the American people see exactly what’s being rushed through Congress. Below are Senator Schumer’s remarks:

Senate Republicans are scrambling to pass a radical bill, released to the public in the dead of night, praying the American people don’t realize what’s in it.

If Senate Republicans won’t tell the American people what’s in this bill, then Democrats are going to force this chamber to read it from start to finish.
