AOC accuses Schumer of yielding to Republicans

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for agreeing to a Republican funding bill, claiming it has caused anger among Democrats. She is rallying support to oppose the bill, which she views as a concession to the GOP. Schumer, who initially opposed the bill, now supports it to prevent a government shutdown. He argues that a shutdown would empower Donald Trump and others to harm federal services. Some House Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi, have also voiced opposition to the bill. The Senate's response is divided, with Republicans holding a majority. Some Senate Democrats are concerned about the consequences of a shutdown but face pressure to resist the funding bill. Ocasio-Cortez emphasized the risks taken by House Democrats in tough districts to defend their constituents.
