‘They should negotiate’: Sen. Schumer pushes back on GOP offer to slash COVID relief package to $600B

preview

AdvertisementBy New York Daily NewsJan 31, 2021 at 3:21 pmWASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is throwing cold water on a Republican offer to give President Biden less than a third of what he wants in a COVID relief package.The Biden administration rolled out a sweeping $1.9 trillion plan in its first week in office, to a poor reception from the GOP. A group of 10 more moderate Republicans responded Sunday with a $600 billion proposal.AdvertisementIn an interview with the Daily News on Sunday, Schumer (D-N.Y.) said they should go back to the drawing board, and come talk with him and Democrats.“They should negotiate with us, not make a take-it-or-leave-it offer,” Schumer said.AdvertisementAs majority leader, even in a Senate that’s divided 50-50, Schumer controls the agenda.With the Republicans’ proposal just hours old, Schumer pointed to a major flaw for him — the GOP offer lacks the massive federal aid he’s sought for months to help state and local governments battered by the pandemic.“If the reports are true., it doesn’t have any state and local money in it. Look at that, just as one thing,” Schumer said.The number of the Republicans in the group — 10 — is significant because any plan backed by them would give Schumer and his 50 Democrats the additional votes they need to break a GOP filibuster and quickly advance the needed rescue package.AdvertisementSchumer intends to begin pushing ahead with Biden’s package this week, using a process called reconciliation that falls under Congress’s budget authority to pass bills with simple majorities, avoiding the chance for Republicans to filibuster.He signaled that while Republicans are welcome to be involved, he was not going to allow a drawn-out process.“Our Republican colleagues, most of them have been very negative, either don’t want to do anything, or want to do something minimal,” Schumer said. “President Biden believes, and I agree with him, we need a bold, strong action. Now, we’d like to do that with the Republicans, but if we can’t, we’ll have to go forward on our own using this process, reconciliation.”Advertisement Advertisement
