Schumer: "Just One More Vote" To Stop Betsy DeVos (RealClearPolitics)

Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) speaks in opposition to Betsy DeVos, President Trump's Secretary of Education nominee.

SENATE MINORITY LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER: Americans across the country in red states and blue states have been flooding our offices with phone calls and emails asking the Senate to vote no on Betsy DeVos. Local newspaper editorial boards, many of them that endorsed Trump are saying the same thing. My friends, the Senators from Maine and Alaska (Republican Sens. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski) were profiles in courage last week when they announced their opposition to her nomination. But, unfortunately, so far they are the exception. We need just one more vote and we can get a lot better Secretary of Education than the one who was nominated.
