Chuck Schumer

If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it stand adjourned under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 7:48 p.m., adjourned until Tuesday, September 26, 2017, at 10…

Good morning, Mr. President. As we continue to work on the NDAA, the Democratic side is committed to working with the Republican side in good faith to finish this very important legislation. I am pleased that the managers have already been…

First, as we continue work on NDAA, Democrats are committed to working with our Republican colleagues in a constructive and productive way to finish the legislation. The Senator from Arizona, the chairman of the committee, and the ranking…

As Hurricane Irma continues to buffet Florida, our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Florida and the rest of the Southeast that is in the storm's path. The Democratic caucus and I stand ready to work with the majority leader and…

First, let me thank my friend from Florida for his kind words. During these troubled times in the State of Florida--and we hope and pray that Irma will not do too much damage, although signs point in the other direction--the people of…

I will speak on leader time. I know that the Senators from Colorado and Virginia wish to follow. ____________________

The Americans being held in Turkey are bargaining chips to secure the extradition of Gulen

The application of public pressure on Turkey will alter its behavior for the better.

But to be clear, that means moving forward, not backward, on affordability, on coverage, and quality of care.

That is unacceptable and it is avoidable.

Our healthcare system is more stable than President Trump's tweets would have you believe, but it is weaker as a direct result of some steps that have been taken.

I am in full support of Mr. Wray, and I thank my colleague for the courtesy. I yield the floor.

I will have a statement in support of Mr. Wray after the Senator from Georgia finishes speaking.

I would simply say to my friend, this is a huge bill. We have not had a huge amount of time to debate it. We have just seen it for 2 hours. To ask for another 5 minutes on our side for the ranking member of Finance, in addition to mine, is…

Will my colleague from Arizona yield so that I can answer him before the majority leader speaks? Mr. McCAIN. Yes.

The door is open, but he also had a number of preconditions for stepping through the door.

Senate Democrats say they will not offer any health care amendments until the GOP leaders reveal their full plan.

Chuck Schumer, the minority leader of the Senate, went to the Senate floor and said that they planned to not offer up any amendments until they see the specifics behind the Republican plan to offer up this so-called skinny repeal.

If Republicans abandon cuts to Medicaid, abandon tax breaks for wealthy, and agree to go through the regular order, the door to bipartisanship is open right now. Republicans only need to walk through it.

Hillary Clinton was a terrible candidate.

Chuck Schumer today did come out and say, look, Hillary Clinton was not liked and we need to face the facts on that.

When Donald Trump says I'll have your back, when you vote to repeal health care, Jeff Sessions.

First, I want to tell my colleague from Florida that it is always a pleasure to listen to him. He is erudite, well- researched, and passionate--always about a subject that matters. On the subject he just spoke about, no State in our entire…

If Republicans abandon cuts to Medicaid, abandon tax breaks for the wealthy, and agree to go through the regular order. The door to bipartisanship is open right now.

First, I thank my good friend from Florida for his inspiring words. He is always trying to work together on bipartisan solutions. He represents one of the largest and most diverse States in the country--a State that very much depends on…
