Harry Reid: “We have a consent request we are working on. We hope to have people sign off on that. If they do not, one or many are…”

We have a consent request we are working on. We hope to have people sign off on that. If they do not, one or many are going to have to object to it. We have spent enough time on this that we need to move forward. We know we have a number of votes already scheduled. Senator McConnell has something pending. I do too. We know we are going to have to vote on that, but that is the least of our worries. We have to work through this appropriations stuff. So people who have concerns, bring them to David Schiappa or Gary Myrick because otherwise I might come here and offer a consent request. Either we are going to move this bill forward or move off this bill.
