Protesters in Brooklyn demand Schumer oppose GOP budget cuts

Protesters gathered in Brooklyn on Friday to criticize Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for supporting a Republican budget extension. This decision breaks from House Democrats, who argue it enables further cuts to federal agencies. The rally, organized by Indivisible Brooklyn, expressed anger over Schumer's support for a plan that includes significant budget cuts. Protesters demanded he either fight against these measures or step aside, emphasizing the need for a stronger opposition to the GOP. Moderate Democrats and activists also voiced their discontent, urging Schumer to take a firmer stance. The protest reflects ongoing tensions within the Democratic Party regarding strategies to counter former President Donald Trump's influence.
