Schumer: We’ll Pass a Minimum Wage Hike Because the GOP Knows They’re Wrong

Schumer predicts wage deal in six months (The Hill)

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Monday said he predicts Congress will reach a deal on the minimum wage this year.

“We’ll get a deal on minimum wage within the next six months,” Schumer said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “There are lots of different areas where we can compromise.”

Schumer remained confident that Republicans would cave and agree to Democrats’ proposal to raise the minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10 an hour.
