House Democrats criticize Schumer's support for GOP bill

Top House Democrats are criticizing Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for supporting a Republican spending bill to prevent a government shutdown. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused him of presenting a false choice between the GOP bill and a shutdown. The GOP bill, which passed a key Senate vote with Democratic support, would fund the government through September 30. It grants President Trump significant power over federal spending, raising concerns among Democrats about potential misuse of funds. House Democrats overwhelmingly oppose the bill, advocating for a short-term funding measure instead. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries emphasized their unity against the GOP proposal, while avoiding questions about Schumer's actions.
