“Schumer said he expects roughly five Senate Republicans to vote for a deal no matter what, 15 to vote against it no matter what, and that the rest could all be swayed by Trump as the presidential primary formally kicks off next month.
”Said Schumer: “He is a huge political force in that party. And the question is … will they do the right thing, even though they know that Donald Trump will in a nasty, vicious way, attack them?”
