Not that they’re listening to him but Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer nonetheless had a suggestion for Republicans.
“I have a plea for the Republicans and advice: If you embrace MAGA, you’re going to keep losing. you’re going to lose more,” he said during Tuesday’s weekly press conference on Capitol Hill. “The embrace of MAGA in 2018, 2020 and ’22 didn’t work, We welcome you to work with us ona bipartisan basis to get things done for the America people.”
Democrats defied expectations by maintaining control of the Senate following the midterms despite an unfavorable climate that include high inflation and President Joe Biden’s low approval ratings. That means Schumer will remain as the majority leader in charge of settnig the chamber’s agenda.
“When we come back in January, hopefully we have a productive legislative session,” he said. And “the number of the non-MAGA Republicans will do what so many of them did with us now and some of them are doing with us on Respect for Marriage Act and that is work with us in a bipartisan way to get things done.”
