Chuck Schumer: “Every day this disastrous war continues, Donald Trump digs himself deeper and deeper into a hole. The longer Trump waits…”

“Every day this disastrous war continues, Donald Trump digs himself deeper and deeper into a hole. The longer Trump waits to extricate the United States from this war, the deeper the hole gets and the harder it will be for him to get out. Republican Senators should do Donald Trump a favor and pull him out of the hole he has dug by voting for a War Powers Resolution today. If not, they will sink even further into that same hole themselves. So I urge Senate Republicans to vote for Senator Baldwin's War Powers Resolution--their fifth opportunity to vote for a War Powers Resolution, and I was proud to be actively involved to sponsor so many of them. Iran's leadership has become even more militant than before the war. Iran's hold over Hormuz has gotten even stronger. Iran maintains its economic stranglehold on the world, firing on more merchant ships in the Strait of Hormuz earlier today. Meanwhile, gas has been over $4 a gallon for weeks, and that is the highest it has been in years. Americans are going to pay $740 more this year to fill up their tanks, on average, because of Trump's war.”
