2. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Chuck Schumer, Majority Leader:
“Rare is the moment that the Senate Republicans are even to the right of the House Republicans. But it happened today. This bill was crafted in good part by one of the most conservative members of the Senate, the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee Smith. It got 357 votes, only 70 against, but Republicans still had to vote against it. And it’s sort of something they seem to be doing under orders from their candidate, Trump. They want to block everything. So that’s what they did on the border. The strong, tough, bipartisan border bill we had. That’s what they’re doing today on the tax bill. That’s what they’re also doing on crypto and even on some of the AI regulations.”

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Chuck Schumer, Majority Leader:
“Senate Republicans were handing out leaflets earlier this week saying how Republicans must not give in to a Democratic, quote, win before November. Well, Republicans, governing is not just about political wins. This was about making sure American families win. And today, because of Republicans, American families lost.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Chuck Schumer, Majority Leader:
“Multi-billionaires from the right wing, giving gifts of millions of dollars total to Supreme Court justices. At the same time, these right wing billionaires are funding legal suits to go to that Supreme Court. Who would have thought? And I have to say, Chief Justice Roberts is derelict in his responsibility. He should be cleaning this up. He’s not. And that’s why we in Congress have an obligation to do it.”

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Chuck Schumer, Majority Leader:
“(Justices) siding with the big special interests and even violating our democracy with the ridiculous, awful decision that presidents are kings, that if they do something they think is is within, is official, that they can do as Nixon said, whatever they want. So we are going to…we have 38 co-sponsors. I just introduced the bill a few minutes ago or an hour ago on the floor, and we will be pursuing the best way to get that done. It’s very important to us, and I believe the American people are with us all the way.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Chuck Schumer, Majority Leader:
“Well, I think my Republican colleagues are embarrassed. I had one senior Republican colleagues say to me this morning, I guess now you’re going to win the election after we heard Trump last night. He said that. And let me say this. The lower Trump gets in the polls, the more unhinged he gets. The American people will be able to see that. Thank you everybody.”

STORYLINE:
A bill to expand the child tax credit and restore some tax breaks for businesses failed to advance in the Senate on Thursday as Republicans largely opposed the measure, arguing they would be in position to get a better deal next year.
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., dared Republicans to vote against the tax cut package before lawmakers headed home for the month. He said they would be voting against tax cuts for many low-income families and businesses.
But most Republicans opposed the measure on a 48-44 procedural vote that required support from 60 lawmakers to succeed. Republicans accused Democrats of engaging in election-year messaging rather than serious legislating.
