Schumer Hits Trouble After Earlier Wins in 50-50 Senate - WSJ

At the start of the year, Mr. Schumer set a goal of trying to pass the voting bill by Martin Luther King Jr. Day—Monday, Jan. 17—and then pivoting to changing the filibuster. That deadline later slipped due in part to a forecast winter storm.
