Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand are promising to push Republicans to pass gun control measures
The pair says they're planning to pressure the GOP-controlled Senate to pass legislation following recent mass shootings in Ohio and Texas.
Yesterday, Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced they sent a letter to President Trump asking him to support a background check bill that's already been passed by the House.
The White House says the conversation between the two Democratic leaders and the president was cordial.
