Schumer supports government funding to avoid shutdown consequences

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced he will vote to keep the government open, stating that a shutdown would harm Americans and benefit figures like Donald Trump. He emphasized the need for a responsible choice to avoid negative impacts. Schumer criticized Republicans for delaying government funding legislation, as the deadline approaches. He opposed a spending bill passed by the House and proposed a one-month extension to allow for better negotiations. The House passed a continuing resolution to keep the government funded for six months, but Schumer's plan aims to extend funding only until April 11 for further discussions.
