Schumer says Democrats will force reading of 940-page megabill on Senate floor

(Changes headline tense)

(Reuters) -U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Saturday said Democrats will force the Republicans’ 940-page tax and spending bill to be read out loud in full on the Senate floor.

“Republicans won’t tell America what’s in the bill. So Democrats are forcing it to be read start to finish on the floor,” Schumer said in a post on X. “We will be here all night if that’s what it takes to read it.”
