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.
