Democrat Demands Schumer’s Removal Over Republican Funding Bill Support
Rep. Glenn Ivey’s public call for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s resignation marks the first such demand from a Democratic lawmaker, stemming from party divisions over the handling of a Republican funding bill. Ivey criticized Schumer’s decision to allow the bill’s passage as a surrender of crucial leverage against the administration’s actions, including federal job cuts. This sparked intense debate within the party, with some members advocating for more aggressive resistance, while others, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, publicly supported Schumer. Despite this support, criticism from prominent Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez highlights the significant internal conflict within the party.
