Schumer’s Leadership Under Fire: 90% of Progressives Demand His Resignation
Following Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s vote for a GOP-backed continuing resolution that cut non-defense spending by $13 billion, Our Revolution’s survey revealed that nearly 90% of its progressive members want him to resign. This vote, which avoided a government shutdown, drew widespread condemnation from progressives due to significant cuts to crucial programs and a lack of specific funding allocations. The survey also indicated strong support for primary challenges against Schumer and the ten other Democrats who voted for the bill. The situation highlights a significant rift within the Democratic party between progressive and moderate factions.
