clickondetroit.com

The Democratic Party is experiencing internal conflict as frustration grows over Senate Leader Chuck Schumer's support for a Republican funding bill. Many Democrats feel he is not fighting hard enough against President Trump's agenda, leading to protests and calls for new leadership. Schumer's decision to back the bill, which trims non-defense spending and increases defense funding, has left him isolated. House Democrats, who largely opposed the bill, are urging their Senate colleagues to resist and show more determination in negotiations. Progressive groups are warning of political repercussions for Senate Democrats who support the bill. Activists plan to express their anger at public events, emphasizing the need for the party to unite against perceived threats to social programs.
