Progressives Call for Schumer’s Resignation Over Support for GOP Spending Bill

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer faces criticism from Democratic grassroots groups and party members after backing a Republican-led effort to avert a government shutdown.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer supported a Republican-crafted spending bill that passed 62-38, preventing a government shutdown.
Progressive group Indivisible has called for Schumer to step down, citing an overwhelming vote of disapproval among its leaders both in New York and nationwide.
Critics argue Schumer squandered a key leverage point by supporting the bill, which they claim undermines Democratic efforts to challenge former President Donald Trump.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries declined to express confidence in Schumer’s leadership during a press conference, sidestepping direct questions about his future as Senate leader.
The controversy has exposed divisions within the Democratic Party, with some questioning Schumer's strategic planning and ability to lead effectively.
