Schumer announced that he would be forcing the clerks to read the bill ahead of the ultimately successful, albeit drama-filled, procedural vote. And after forcing the reading of the bill, he said on X, “Republicans are squirming.”

In one humorous post, X user ‘The Patriot Oasis’ shared a clip from the bill reading and wrote, “While reading the Big Beautiful Bill Democrats READ the Definition of a “WOMAN” 🤣 Maybe this is why they are SO MAD about it??”
Daugherty replied, “Chuck Schumer regrets having the bill read! 🤣.”
Chuck Schumer regrets having the bill read! 🤣
