Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer defended his leadership decision regarding a government spending bill amid criticism. However, dissatisfaction with Democratic leadership has increased, particularly as voters lean towards new candidates, like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who outpaces Schumer in hypothetical matchups for the 2028 Senate race.
