and the $15 minimum wage that the house voted to include in the covid relief bill. but even with democrats in control, the possibility of any of this becoming law is nowhere near guaranteed. and without a change to the filibuster, much of this progressive to-do list will die. joining me now is senate majority leader chuck schumer of the great state of new york. leader schumer, thank you very much for coming to the sunday show. good to be with you, jonathan. the old days back in gotham. so, listen, you were able to get the senate to pass the covid relief package, and as a result it became law. how do you hold your razor-thin majority? how did you hold it in order for all of these progressive to-do list items to get through passage? well, first, it s such a major piece of legislation. it s the most significant change for middle-class people, for poor people, people trying to get into the middle class in decades in a very long time. and it has amazing things in it. the c
Laura Ingraham shines a spotlight on everyday Americans and examines how their lives are affected by politics at the federal, state and local level.
