That is the best way forward,&rdquo; the joint statement continued, adding that they &ldquo;remain strongly opposed to the partisan spending bill under consideration in the Senate.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Schumer&rsquo;s decision to support pushing the continuing resolution forward has received backlash from firebrand Rep.
