Democrats face internal divisions over government funding bill

The Senate passed a Republican funding bill to prevent a government shutdown, with a vote of 54-46. This decision has caused significant divisions within the Democratic Party, as some members supported the bill while others opposed it. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's support for the bill has drawn criticism from progressives, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Many Democrats feel this move may enable further cuts under President Trump. The situation highlights a generational divide within the party, with newer members opposing Schumer's strategy. The Democratic Party is grappling with how to effectively respond to Trump during his second term.
