Schumer Cancels Book Tour Amid Backlash Over Government Funding Deal
Senator Chuck Schumer has postponed his book tour for “Antisemitism in America: A Warning” due to cited security concerns, coinciding with intense internal Democratic Party backlash. This follows Schumer’s controversial vote to advance a Republican-led government funding bill, a decision that averted a shutdown but drew accusations of capitulation from within his own caucus. Progressive groups like Indivisible organized protests against the tour and called for his resignation as Minority Leader. The postponement comes after a tense meeting between Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to address their differing strategies.
