Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) reiterated the “everything is on the table” mantra amid Democrat efforts to delay the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett, while raising the prospect of ending the legislative filibuster and pursuing statehood for Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., if Democrats win a majority in the Senate.

“We are using all the tactics we can to slow the thing down,” he told MSNBC in an interview.
