“Mr. President, thank you for unifying and inspiring a vision of a stronger, fairer, safer future for all our children. Your extraordinary leadership has made this glorious day possible,” Pelosi said, followed by a moment of silence from the crowd.
“That’s an applause line,” she told them.
“And let us salute Leader Schumer [and] his colleagues in the Senate for their extraordinary leadership and the success in bringing this bill to the floor,” Pelosi said.
Schumer then proclaimed: “That’s an applause line!”
