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 think we need a new party. Schumer is/ has pretty much tanked any chance at a midterm comeback with this form of governance. Democrats have somehow become less popular while Trump lights the world on fire and pisses on its ashes. The brand is toast. No one wants to vote for Democrats and no one should want to be a Democrat.
The midterms are still 18 months away. 18 months before the last election, Republicans were still bickering over who they wanted their speaker to be and obviously they won that last one so anything is possible.
