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.
The weird thing is he did get an essay that explained everything published by the NYT after the fact once it blew up in his face. He could have just shared all of that ahead of time instead of blindsiding everyone with his surprise change of heart and at least minimized the anger. You would think an experienced politician like him would know better but for some reason he did it in just about the worst possible way he could have done it.
