Schumer defends funding resolution; faces criticism from Hayes

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer faced tough questions from MSNBC host Chris Hayes about his strategy against the Trump administration. Schumer announced he would not block a GOP-led funding resolution, which could help avoid a government shutdown. Hayes expressed frustration, questioning how supporting the resolution aligns with fighting against what he called an unconstitutional assault on the government. Schumer defended his position, stating that the alternative to the resolution would be worse. Schumer acknowledged the challenges but emphasized the need to prevent a government shutdown, which he argued would harm Democratic priorities. He criticized Republicans for their actions, suggesting they are eager for a shutdown.
