In an interview with HuffPost, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) didn’t close the door on bipartisan collaboration with the president. But he immediately, when he was elected president, made a deal with the hard-right and let them run the show,” said Schumer. It was even true on infrastructure spending, which Schumer pledged would not be done on the cheap. The minority leader has, for example, pushed for stronger oversight on everything from Trump’s ethical morass to his administration’s ties to the Russian government. He encouraged the Democratic National Committee to invest in state party infrastructure and advanced social-media operations.
