Schumer (D-N.Y.) said in a statement. “Senate Democrats are committed to advancing real solutions and fighting to uphold the core tenets of our Constitution. … This legislation will bring about long-needed democracy reforms that will ensure that government is finally able to respond to the pressing needs of the American people.”
