Democrats face internal divisions over Schumer's spending bill support

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer reversed his stance on a Republican spending bill, deciding to support it to avoid a government shutdown. This decision drew mixed reactions from Democrats, with some praising the move and others criticizing it. Prominent Democrats, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, expressed their discontent. They argued that Schumer's support empowers Republican leaders and undermines Democratic priorities. The situation highlights ongoing divisions within the Democratic Party. With Republicans controlling Congress, Democrats struggle to present a united front and effectively challenge the Trump agenda.
