Schumer's vote sparks backlash among Democrats

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced he will vote to keep the government open, despite calling the funding bill "very bad." This comes as a partial government shutdown looms, and the Senate prepares to vote on a House-passed measure. Schumer's decision has faced criticism from some Democrats, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who argues it supports harmful cuts. Other Democrats echoed similar concerns, stating the bill is detrimental to workers and families. Currently, Republicans hold the Senate majority, but they need Democratic support to overcome procedural hurdles. Only one Democrat voted for the measure in the House, indicating significant party division on the issue.
