House and Senate Democratic Leaders Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer took turns on Wednesday pummelling Republicans who regret having voted for the reconciliation bill last month.
They also had a plea for their colleagues across the aisle: If you disagreed with the reconciliation bill, block the rescissions bill, which includes tweaks to the reconciliation bill meant to allow the Senate to move forward.
Jeffries and Schumer’s remarks come as the House is slated to take a procedural vote Wednesday afternoon that would allow for debate on President Donald Trump’s rescissions package, which aims to codify billions of dollars in funding cuts. The procedural vote also includes language that would allow the House to revise the reconciliation bill so that the Senate can officially start working on reconciliation.
