Haley Stevens: “Yesterday, this Senator completed 5 days of negotiations and finally got an agreement with the House and with everyone…”

“Yesterday, this Senator completed 5 days of negotiations and finally got an agreement with the House and with everyone on how to lift the caps of the 1997 act. That did not take place because the Senator's side of the aisle objected at the last minute. We don't have a provision in this bill lifting the 1997 caps; we can't go forward until we do. We don't have the ability to go forward yet this afternoon and tomorrow and the next day. We have to lift those caps. It is enough to take abuse once in a while, but this Senator doesn't take it when it is undeserved. To accuse this side of the aisle for delay now is absolutely wrong. The President of the United States just came here and demanded 100 percent of what he asked for, but we don't know what it is.”
