Democrats consider primary challenge against Chuck Schumer

Democratic anger surged after Senate leader Chuck Schumer supported a Republican funding bill that cuts key programs. This decision prompted calls for a primary challenge against him, with Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Dan Goldman mentioned as potential candidates. Even centrist Democrats expressed frustration, with some offering financial support for Ocasio-Cortez's potential campaign. Ocasio-Cortez criticized Schumer's actions as a betrayal and emphasized her focus on opposing the GOP measure. A vote on the Republican bill is expected soon, with the Senate needing Democratic support to advance it. Critics argue Schumer's decision undermines Democratic leverage against Republican policies.
