Sen. Gillibrand: There’s No ‘Human Being Alive’ that Could Bring the Country Together Like Sen. Schumer

EXCERPT:

GILLIBRAND: “And he understands that this country needs to heal, that we have to bring people together, that we have to get things done. And I don't think there's a human being alive in America today that could do a better job than Chuck Schumer in this moment to bring this country back together again, to get things done, to get the economy moving. His life and dedication to public service has prepared him for this moment better than anyone. And so I am so optimistic that in this new Congress we will be able to govern, we'll be able to get resources to our cities, our states, our communities. We will be able to help people have no jobs to get jobs. We will be able to help families that are hungry get food. We'll be able to help kids that don't have resources the tools they need to study and learn in school. I see everything is possible now because of that one change. And so I just want Senator Schumer to understand that he is the right person at this time, for this moment, to deliver the relief that hopefully President-Elect Biden and Vice President-Elect Harris will bring forward with the support of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer so that we can heal this country. And he is well poised to do that job extremely well."
