Democrats divided over government shutdown strategy

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. Progressives are calling for a stronger stance, arguing that a government shutdown could force negotiations. House Democrats have urged their Senate colleagues to oppose the bill, while some leaders suggest the party may need new leadership. Influential progressive groups warn of backlash against Senate Democrats who support the bill. Activists plan to express their anger at public events, emphasizing the need for Democrats to unite and resist Republican proposals.
