Why no mention of the Freedom to Vote Act

My guess, Schumer told him they just can get enough "non Maga Republicans" to get 60 votes. It would look weak for him to call on Congress to pass a bill they know will fail.

Great speech though.

Let's make every Republican say if they are a MAGA Republican or not.
