Democratic Party faces internal conflict over funding bill

The Democratic Party is experiencing internal conflict as frustration grows over Senate leader Chuck Schumer's support for a Republican funding bill. Many Democrats believe 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 previously opposed the bill, are urging their Senate colleagues to take a stronger stance against it. Progressive groups are warning of political repercussions for Senate Democrats who support the bill. Activists plan to express their anger at public events, demanding that Democrats stand firm against perceived threats to social programs.
