n CNN’s “This Morning” earlier this week, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer stated that he would meet with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell following the midterm elections to encourage GOP senators to reject “MAGA Republicans.”
“Are you going to be speaking to Mitch McConnell?” co-host Kaitlan Collins questioned Schumer. “How does that look?”
Schumer’s response:
“Quit allowing them to lead your party, is what I’m going to tell the Republicans in the Senate that are not MAGA Republicans. Collaborate alongside us to get things accomplished. I hope to meet with Mitch McConnell to communicate this.”
“I plan to sit down with him and suggest we should really be working together,” he added. “You are not going to convince your party’s extremists to cooperate with anyone, but the rest of us should work together and accomplish some genuine things for the American people.”
Then, co-host Don Lemon posed the following question to Schumer:
“I’m curious what’s different. What will be different this time for the MAGA Republicans? You’ve said that before. Please cooperate with us. What makes this time different?”
