Short Link to this Quote:
Chuck Schumer is referring to the practice of using secret or hidden funds to influence elections. He is suggesting that some politicians, specifically mentioning Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell, are trying to use the budget process to keep this type of secret money in politics. This is a way of criticizing the influence of special interest groups and dark money in elections.
It appears that Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell are trying to block disclosure of “secret money” in elections. It is possible that they may have different motivations or perspectives on this issue. Is there anything else I can help with?
