Chuck Schumer Postpones Book Tour Over Security Concerns

The Senate minority leader faces backlash from Democrats after supporting a GOP-led government funding bill to avoid a shutdown.

  • Senator Chuck Schumer has delayed his book tour, citing security concerns, with events in cities like Baltimore, New York, and Washington, D.C. being rescheduled.
  • Schumer's new book, 'Antisemitism in America: A Warning,' is set for release this week, but promotional appearances have been paused.
  • The decision follows criticism from Democratic lawmakers and activists over his support for advancing a Republican stopgap funding bill.
  • Some Democrats argue the funding bill concedes too much power to President Donald Trump, causing internal divisions within the party.
  • Schumer had warned against a government shutdown, but his stance has sparked tension over how Democrats should oppose the administration's policies.
