Democratic Party in Turmoil: Schumer Faces Backlash Over Shutdown Deal

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is facing intense criticism from within his own party for supporting a Republican-backed spending bill to prevent a government shutdown. Progressives, including Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, argue that his move weakens Democratic negotiating power and betrays the party’s core principles. Activist groups like MoveOn and Indivisible are mobilizing against incumbents who supported the bill, potentially setting the stage for primary battles.
