Washington D.C. - Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) spoke on the Senate floor and highlighted the contrast in priorities between Senate Democrats and Republicans, emphasizing that while Republicans are focused on enabling Trump's corruption, Democrats are fighting for the American people. Below are Senator Schumer's remarks, which can also be viewed here.
This week put the contrast between the two parties in bright lights.
Republicans are consumed by Donald Trump's priorities: his corrupt slush fund, his gilded ballroom, his rogue police force, his reckless war with Iran and his refusal to contain the rising costs Americans face every week.
Democrats are focused on the American people's priorities: lowering costs, bringing stability, and fighting back against this administration's rampant, rampant corruption.
At a time when families are struggling and looking for answers, that contrast matters.
Republicans are fighting for Trump. Democrats are fighting for the American people. And we will keep driving that contrast every day, on every issue.
