"Schumer Calls For Biden To Declare Climate Emergency" [1]

"Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said on Monday night that President Biden should consider declaring an emergency when it comes to the climate.

"It might be a good idea for President Biden to call a climate emergency," Schumer told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow.

Schumer appeared to be referencing Biden making a national emergency declaration, with the Senate leader noting that former President Trump used it for the border wall."
