US Senate split on gun law after Texas school massacre
TRT World says Democrats and Republicans in the US Senate have struggled to agree on legislation to prevent future mass shootings, a day after a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers at a Texas elementary school.
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer urged collaboration on Wednesday but neither he nor Democratic President Joe Biden in a televised speech offered a specific approach.
“My Republican colleagues can work with us now. I know this is a slim prospect, very slim, all too slim,” Schumer said in a floor speech. “It’s their choice.”
The Senate will hold a procedural vote on Thursday to launch a debate on legislation to fight domestic terrorism that passed the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives after a mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, earlier this month.
