Facing government shutdown threat, Senate Democrat leader Chuck Schumer announces support for GoP funding bill

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has vowed that Democrats will block the Republican-crafted funding bill, raising the risk of a U.S. government shutdown by Friday night. With Republicans needing 60 votes to pass the measure, the battle over government funding intensifies. Some Democrats fear a shutdown, while others see this as their last chance to push for concessions before the fiscal year 2026 budget process. #Schumer #USCongress #GovernmentShutdown #Senate #Democrats #Republicans #Trump #ChuckSchumer #USPolitics #BreakingNews #ShutdownAlert #Biden #WashingtonDC #FiscalCrisis #DebtCeiling #PoliticalShowdown #BudgetBattle #GovernmentCrisis #CapitolHill #Economy
