Today, I'll meet with the President-elect’s nominee for Commerce Secretary—Howard Lutnick of NY. It’s vital the next Commerce Secretary is willing to build on progress from the last few years and ensure the US out-competes the Chinese Communist Party on AI, semiconductors, and more.
Today is a good day. 🫶 Because of the HEARTS Act that Damar Hamlin and I fought for side-by-side, more lives will be saved. More families will be whole. More communities will be prepared. It's on its way to the president's desk!
Senator Schumer, Damar Hamlin, and more, December 9, 2024.
Damar Hamlin’s story is a powerful reminder that in a cardiac emergency every minute counts. He turned his story into a mission to help save lives. I want to thank Damar for his courage, partnership, dedication. The 🫶 HEARTS Act 🫶 is on its way to the president's desk.
Senator Schumer and Damar Hamlin, December 9, 2024.
🫶 I have incredible news. 🫶 Today, the HEARTS Act has passed the Senate to make sure that schools have AEDs and the ability to teach CPR. I’m honored to have fought for it alongside the Buffalo Bills’ Damar Hamlin. It's on its way to the president's desk!
Senator Schumer, Damar Hamlin, students, and more together in Buffalo, December 9, 2024.
The benefits of Micron’s CHIPS award go beyond NY. The award's fueling expansion of Micron in ID. And the U.S. Department of Commerce has struck another deal with Micron to expand in VA. The latest flurry of good news showing CHIP manufacturing's expanding nationwide with our CHIPS & Science Act.
In 2024—at least 24 major disasters have battered communities across the US. We must get them aid—Senate Democrats have been working to reach an agreement across the aisle. This isn’t a Blue or Red issue. The only way we’ll get a disaster package is with serious bipartisan cooperation.
CONFIRMED: Keli Neary to be United States District Judge for the Middle District of Pennsylvania! And we will keep working to confirm more of President Biden's well-qualified judges.
As the Senate does a thorough review of all Pres-elect's nominees—I met with his Sec of State nominee: Sen Rubio We had a good discussion on our foreign policy priorities inc. Ukraine, Middle East, Haiti, China And I expressed my concern with Pres-elect wavering on our commitment to our partners
Senator Schumer and Senator Rubio, December 10, 2024.
For over a year, I’ve worked with Senators of both parties to find a way forward on bipartisan AI legislation. But Senate Republicans have chosen to walk away. If we want America to lead the world in innovation—we can’t turn a blind eye to AI. I won't walk away from AI talks.
I took the next steps last night to move forward on the nominations of Lauren McFerran and Joshua Ditelberg to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). If you truly care about working families, then you should be in favor of advancing these NLRB nominees.
Micron’s CHIPS award is more than just a once-in-a-generation investment in Upstate NY: It’s an investment that'll span multiple generations, create over 50K jobs, spur historic amounts of private investment. It's critical for national security, AI, smart phones, cars, and more.
When we passed my bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act, we promised to bring semiconductor manufacturing back to the USA, strengthen national security, shore up supply chains. That promise is coming to fruition: Micron just finalized a $6.1B award made possible by CHIPS & Science!
Big: I'm announcing Micron and the U.S. Department of Commerce finalized their agreement for up to $6.1B from my bipartisan CHIPS & Science Law. This will support Micron’s planned landmark $100+ billion public-private investment in NY, and Micron's expansion in Idaho, creating good-paying jobs.
Senator Chuck Schumer announces that Micron is coming to Central New York alongside Gov. Kathy Hochul and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra, October 4, 2022.
Our two newest Senate Democrats took the oath of office today. To Senator Schiff of California and Senator Kim of New Jersey: We’re so excited to work side-by-side with you for the American people.
