Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi criticized Senate Democrats for supporting a GOP-backed funding bill. She urged them to reject it and instead advocate for a four-week extension to negotiate a bipartisan deal. Pelosi called the current bill a "false choice" that could negatively impact working families. She expressed frustration with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's decision to advance the measure, despite its flaws. Schumer defended his position, stating that avoiding a government shutdown is crucial. This has led to tensions among Democrats, with many wanting a stronger stance in negotiations.
