Collins: McConnell Should Allow a Vote on Funding Bills Passed in House
‘The fact is that unless Chuck Schumer and speaker Pelosi agree and the president agrees to sign a bill, we can pass bills but they won’t become law’
RUSH EXCERPT:
COLLINS: “Well, I can’t speak for Senator Mcconnell. But I would like to see him bring the house-passed bills to the Senate floor. We could reopen much of government where there’s no dispute over issues involving certain departments like ag, transportation, housing, interior. Let’s get those reopened while the negotiations continue. But to be fair to Senator Mcconnell, the fact is that unless Chuck Schumer and speaker Pelosi agree and the president agrees to sign a bill, we can pass bills but they won’t become law. So that’s why I understand the point that Senator Mcconnell is making about these important negotiations that are in fact on going.”
