Senate Minority leader Senator Chuck Schumer told reporters "we are not going to give up. We are not going to walk away," as negotiations continue on a huge coronavirus relief bill. (August 4)

SEN. CHUCK SCHUMER: The Senate Republicans are so divided and tied up in knots that all Leader McConnell can do is go to the floor and make partisan speeches. He's not in the room negotiating, because the Republicans can't even articulate a coherent position.

We're going to keep fighting until we get there. We are not going to give up. We are not going to walk away, but we're not going to let them pick out one or two issues and then say let's go home.

The Republicans are so tied up, so many of them, in their ideological not that they don't want to spend money. Republicans don't seem to understand the scale and scope of the crisis. The disease has washed over our country like a flood, and Republicans are acting like we just need to fix a leaky faucet. Now I'm hopeful. The negotiations are moving forward bit by bit, and we are moving closer together on certain issues.
