Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is whipping against a pro-Israel bill in the U.S. Senate as a protest against the ongoing partial government shutdown.
The leader of the minority party is trying to pressure fellow Democrats to join a filibuster that will prevent Senate Bill 1 from coming up for a vote. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and co-sponsored by Schumer himself, helps states act against the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement.
