Cory Booker opposes Democrats supporting Trump-backed legislation

Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) criticized fellow Democrats on Thursday for potentially supporting a House-passed bill that he believes would give President Trump more power. He argued that allowing the bill to pass would mean surrendering constitutional authority. Booker stated that a government shutdown would be better than enabling Trump and Elon Musk to control federal agencies without oversight. He emphasized the need for Democrats to stand firm against what he sees as reckless actions. In contrast, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) expressed his intention to support the bill, believing that a government shutdown would not benefit anyone. This highlights a divide among Democrats regarding the best approach to the legislation.
