Democratic senators face backlash for voting on GOP bill

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and 10 Democratic senators voted to advance a Republican funding bill, avoiding a government shutdown. This decision has sparked anger among House Democrats and activists, who feel betrayed and are calling for accountability. Democratic leaders, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, criticized the vote. They argue that Senate Democrats should have resisted the GOP bill, which aligns with President Trump's priorities. Protests have erupted outside Schumer's offices, with some calling for his resignation as minority leader. Senate Democrats who opposed the funding extension expressed concerns about the party's bargaining position and the need for a review of leadership decisions.
