Schumer criticised the Trump administration and the Save Act, calling it the “antithesis of democracy.”
“Donald Trump and the Republicans have put our elections in the election from the Vice President, and on the other hand we have stated executive orders from the president, and dangerous laws from the other Congress,” he said in his speech. “They understand the sanctity of elections and keep them fair.
