Schumer gives Republicans an ultimatum to work with Democrats | ABS-CBN News

About this feature

The Democratic Party's leader in the US Senate, Chuck Schumer, on Thursday (November 5) called on Republicans to work with his party in Congress when the Democrats take the majority in January. Democrats are framing their sweeping midterm victory as a mandate for change, with broad agreement on tackling "affordability." This week, consensus emerged on a handful of big-ticket items Democrats aim to pursue once the new Congress convenes next year: making Obamacare health plans more affordable, reversing some of Trump's cuts to Medicaid, the government health insurance program for the poor, and ending his unpopular tariffs and the war in Iran. Schumer told an audience at the Center for American Progress Action Fund that the Democrats will work with or without the Republicans. — Reuters (Production, editing, writing: Paul Vieira) For more ABS-CBN News videos, click the link below: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgyY1WylJUmgy6PGn5--qRRixkhltg5hE For more Breaking News & Live Coverage videos, click the link below: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgyY1WylJUmgG2ln-vtKXb-oLlGEZc3sR For more latest news and analysis from ABS-CBN News videos, click the link below: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgyY1WylJUmjA30dKUQCDlG7vy38QQk-Y For more News Digital News Raw Cuts, click the link below: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgyY1WylJUmiOw9mcoSbzoyp25AAZAAdn Subscribe to the ABS-CBN News channel! - http://bit.ly/TheABSCBNNews Watch full episodes on iWant for FREE here: https://iwanttfc.com Visit our website at https://news.abs-cbn.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abscbnNEWS Twitter: https://twitter.com/abscbnnews Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abscbnnews #ABSCBNNews #LatestNews
