Schumer: ‘We Are Not Going to Dilute, Dither or Delay Because the Needs of the American People Are Just Too Great’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: “The Senate new majority is now ready to get to work. We’re unified behind the goal of delivering desperately needed emergency relief to the American people. We’ll begin the process this afternoon with a vote on the motion to proceed. I’m confident that will pass. And then we roll up our sleeves and get to work, taking the large numbers that are in the budget plan and crafting them. We share President Biden’s desire to advance this legislation in a bipartisan way, but the work must move forward. We are not going to dilute, dither or delay, because the needs of the American people are just too great. Time is of the essence to address this crisis. We are focused on the substance. That’s getting emergency relief to people as we promised we would do as soon as possible. That was a universal campaign of Democrats in Georgia, the Biden presidency and across the country.”
