Top Democratic senators told Mitch McConnell yesterday that the Republicans’ police reform bill is “not salvageable”
Top Democratic senators told Mitch McConnell on Tuesday that the Republicans’ policing overhaul is “not salvageable” — the latest sign that Democrats will filibuster the GOP bill on Wednesday and that the Senate is headed for deadlock on the issue.to the majority leader, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sens. Kamala Harris and Cory Booker demanded that McConnell bring “meaningful legislation” to the floor and argued the GOP plan is not enough as even a starting point for negotiations.
Republicans’ proposal creates incentives for local police departments to reform their policies to stop misconduct; Democrats want to establish stiffer federal standards against the use of force and ban chokeholds and no-knock warrants. Sen. John Cornyn , a top McConnell ally, called Democrats' posture "pathetic." And McConnell said on Tuesday morning that Democrats would leave the country "in the lurch" if they brought the bill down before debate even began.
