Schumer criticizes conceding to Republicans, although he previously agreed with Collins on removing funding for pandemic preparedness from the 2009 stimulus bill.

In response, Schumer said,"We made a big mistake," referring to the $831 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that was passed in 2009 during the Obama administration. Schumer blamed Collins, a member of bipartisan group of lawmakers who drafted the law, for Democrats having to concede too much to the Republicans on the bill's provisions.

"Susan Collins was part of that mistake," Schumer responded."We cut back on the stimulus dramatically, and we stayed in recession for five years." The New York Democrat added that"what was offered [this year] by the Republicans was so far away from what's needed, so far away from what Biden proposed, that he thought that they were not being serious in wanting to really negotiate."retweeted Schumer's comment to Cooper, drawing attention to the majority leader's remarks about the Maine senator.
