Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, funding the government should be a bipartisan effort, but Republicans chose a partisan path drafting their continuing resolution without any input--any input--from congressional Democrats.

Because of that, Republicans do not have the votes in the Senate to invoke cloture on the House CR. Our caucus is unified on a clean April 11 CR that will keep the government open and give Congress time to negotiate bipartisan legislation that can pass.

We should vote on that. I hope--I hope--our Republican colleagues will join us to avoid a shutdown on Friday.
