Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is holding a vote on the Green New Deal, spearheaded by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, which he hopes will be a trap for Democrats.
A Democratic senator attacked the upcoming Senate vote on the Democrat-supported Green New Deal, which was called by Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, as a disingenuous and a dumb idea.
"I think it's a real stupid political move for them to show how cavalier they are about climate change by playing games with the Green New Deal," Senator Chris Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut, told NPR. "I could not be more glad that the American people will have the opportunity to learn precisely where each one of their senators stand on this radical, top-down, socialist makeover of the entire U.S. economy," McConnell said in a statement on Monday.
"I ask this again of every Republican, and particularly Leader McConnell: Do you, Leader McConnell, and our Republican friends believe climate change is real? Yes or no?” Schumer said in the Senate in early March.
