Schumer book events called off over 'security concerns' week of release

"Due to security concerns, Senator Schumer's book events are being rescheduled," a statement to Fox from a book tour spokesperson noted.

The senator had been scheduled for multiple events this week.

He and a number of other Senate Democratic caucus members voted to invoke cloture, but then voted against passing the measure.

Two members of the Senate Democratic caucus - Sens. Angus King, I-Maine, and Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H. - voted to both invoke cloture and to pass the measure. 

Ahead of the vote, Schumer said that while the "bill is very bad, the potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that are much, much worse."
