Storm brewing: SenSchumer and LeaderMcConnell urge passage of omnibus before bomb cyclone strikes
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer will set up a procedural vote on the omnibus as soon as Tuesday afternoon after lawmakers unveiled the 4,155-page bill in the early morning hours. The biggest question is whether one of the conservative senators opposed to the sweeping legislation will throw up legislative roadblocks, slowing the chamber’s ability to send the bill over to the House.
Minority Whip John Thune told CNN on Tuesday that the bill could pass the Senate as soon as Wednesday and that the coming bomb cyclone adds a “sense of urgency.” Sen. Richard Shelby , the top Republican appropriator in the Senate, told reporters it would be difficult to pass the bill by Thursday. He said the legislation was “overflowing with very good news for our troops,” a sentiment echoed by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell , who presented the vote as a binary choice: Give service members the resources they need or vote “no” and cause “confusion and uncertainty” for the military. The bill includes $858 billion in defense spending.
