Senator Chuck Schumer is receiving significant backlash from House Democrats and progressive activists for his decision to support a stopgap spending bill, which they view as a capitulation to Republicans. Grassroots organizations like Pass the Torch are calling for Schumer to step down, stating that he is failing to protect democracy against right-wing forces. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has expressed feelings of betrayal, suggesting she might challenge Schumer in a primary, as political tensions escalate following his controversial collaboration with the GOP.
"Chuck Schumer is unwilling and unable to meet the moment. His sole job is to fight MAGA's fascist takeover of our democracy, instead, he's directly enabling it."
"There is a deep sense of outrage and betrayal about his decision on the pending bill... I cannot rule out the possibility of a primary challenge against Mr. Schumer."
