Aug 11, 2024, 02:30 PM
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has vowed to block any efforts in the Senate to significantly cut the budget of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This statement comes in response to a proposal by House Republicans to slash $1.8 billion from the CDC's budget. Schumer emphasized the potential public health risks associated with such budget cuts, particularly amid a dangerous listeria outbreak. He criticized the proposed reductions, describing them as devastating, and reaffirmed the Senate's commitment to maintaining the CDC's funding.
