Schumer Slams Venezuela Push, Urges Focus on Rising Cost of Living
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer pushed back against Republican rhetoric on Venezuela, calling it a risky “escapade” that distracts from Americans’ most pressing concerns. Responding to remarks from Marco Rubio, Schumer said voters consistently cite the rising cost of living as their top issue and argued Democrats will make lowering everyday expenses their central focus heading into the 2026 elections.
