McCarthy: The Question of Shutdown ‘Comes to Schumer’ and Whether He Decides to Have Shutdown

On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) stated that the decision over a government shutdown ultimately comes down to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).

McCarthy said, “[T]he House did pass a bill that protects and secures the border. The Senate, it takes 60 votes. So, when it really comes to the question of shutting down, it comes to Schumer. Does Schumer make a decision to shut down or not?”
