Democrats in Congress struggle to unite against Trump
bbc.com —
Democrats in Congress are facing internal divisions over how to respond to President Trump and Republicans. Senate leader Chuck Schumer supported a Republican bill to prevent a government shutdown, angering many in his party who wanted a stronger opposition. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats criticized Schumer's decision, calling it a "false choice" and suggesting alternative strategies. A group of House Democrats expressed concern that the bill legitimizes Trump's agenda. Trump praised Schumer's move, indicating it could lead to more Republican legislation. Democrats are struggling to unite and find a clear strategy, as they lack the votes to advance their own proposals in Congress.
