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.
I could see that as preemptive propaganda. If the Dems were the cause of the shutdown, the GOP could blame it on them. The GOP were very vocal this time around about “falling in line” to get it passed, assuming that the Dems were going to filibuster it.
But yeah like others have said in the thread, Schumer went about this all wrong, even if he had valid reasoning/concerns.
