Schumer Faces Party Revolt Over GOP Funding Bill Vote

The Senate Minority Leader's decision to support a Republican-led bill to prevent a government shutdown has intensified divisions within the Democratic Party and fueled calls for his resignation.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer voted for a Republican-drafted funding bill to avoid a government shutdown, drawing sharp criticism from Democrats for failing to secure concessions.
Progressive leaders, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, labeled Schumer's decision a 'tremendous mistake,' accusing him of enabling harmful provisions tied to Trump and Musk's policies.
Schumer defended his vote as necessary to prevent a shutdown, arguing it would have caused greater harm and bolstered the GOP's agenda to downsize the federal government.
Jon Stewart's scathing critique on 'The Daily Show' amplified public outrage, mocking Schumer's lack of leverage and the Democratic Party's declining approval ratings, now at a historic low of 27%.
Schumer canceled his book tour citing security concerns, as calls for his resignation and dissatisfaction with Democratic leadership continue to grow within the party.
