Summary
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer faces mounting pressure from House Democrats to resign his leadership position after supporting a Republican government funding bill that most House Democrats opposed.
Representatives Delia Ramirez, Glenn Ivey, and the liberal group Indivisible have publicly called for his resignation, with more lawmakers potentially following suit.
Critics argue Schumer betrayed House Democrats by not fighting against a bill that failed to protect agencies from DOGE cuts, while Schumer maintains avoiding a shutdown was necessary to prevent Trump from downsizing government more rapidly.
Remember, it’s not just about policy.
Schumer publicly said he would support the shutdown, the privately lead a (very) small group of congressional democrats to vote for cloture. he basically led a mutiny against against the senate democrats he purportedly leads.
How can anyone- never mind fellow senators, and representatives- trust him to follow through?
