In a clip from C-Span, US Senator Chuck Schumer claims that Republicans do not have enough votes to pass a Continuing Resolution (CR) to fund the government. The Democrat from New York accuses the Republicans, particularly Senator Mitch McConnell, of using “fiscal cliff” tactics to try and force through the CR without discussions of key policy areas. Schumer argues that this approach is causing Republicans to lose support for the CR, which does not address issues like healthcare, disaster relief, and immigration reform, specifically the Deferred Action for Children Arrivals (DACA) program.
