Democratic Party faces internal conflict over funding bill

The Democratic Party is experiencing internal conflict as frustration grows over Senate leader Chuck Schumer's decision to support a Republican funding bill. Many Democrats believe he is not fighting hard enough against President Trump's agenda. Progressive groups and House Democrats are urging Senate colleagues to oppose the bill, which cuts non-defense spending and increases defense funding. They argue a government shutdown could force negotiations with Republicans. Some party members are calling for new leadership, expressing dissatisfaction with the current strategy. The situation highlights a divide within the party as they navigate challenges posed by a unified Republican front.
