AOC criticizes Senate Democrats for supporting GOP funding bill

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Senate Democrats for supporting a GOP stopgap funding bill, calling it an "inexplicable abdication." She argued it undermines cooperation with the House and risks harming everyday people. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer defended his decision to back the bill, stating it was necessary to prevent a government shutdown. He acknowledged potential disagreements within the party. Ocasio-Cortez also challenged Sen. John Fetterman, who voted for the bill, questioning his stance on future legislation. Fetterman emphasized his vote was to avoid chaos for working families, not an endorsement of the bill.
