Sen. Chuck Schumer: ‘The American People Are on Our Side’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: “Leader McConnell doesn't seem to understand this. He sees everything through a political lens, but we Democrats are looking at the real needs of people, and they're large. They're in many different places. And that is why we called for a large bill because it was needed, because the American people demanded it. And at this point, the American people are on our side. Two thirds, by survey data, support the $3.4 billion Democratic plan, not the skimpy Republican plan that doesn't deal with people's needs. But at the end of last week, after days of arduous negotiations,
Speaker Pelosi and I continued to run into Republican intransigence. They didn't see people's needs the way we did. They didn't see the depth and breadth of this crisis.”
