Schumer Faces Party Backlash Over Vote to Support GOP Spending Bill

The Senate Minority Leader defends his decision as necessary to prevent a government shutdown, but critics within the Democratic Party call for new leadership.

• Chuck Schumer's vote for a Republican-led spending bill has drawn sharp criticism from Democratic lawmakers, activists, and voters, with some calling for his resignation as Senate Minority Leader.

• The spending bill includes significant cuts to non-defense programs, such as a $13 billion reduction and a 57% cut to the Department of Defense’s medical research programs.
• Protests have been organized against Schumer, and he has postponed his book tour due to security concerns following the backlash.
• The controversy has deepened divisions within the Democratic Party, with some members questioning the party's leadership and strategy in opposing Trump's agenda.
