The Democrats began after it emerged on Sunday that eight members of their Senate Caucus had cooperated in the longest government shutdown in US history, without seeking any of the health care concessions they sought.
But one name comes up for more opprobrium than others: Chuck Schumer, the leader of the Senate who primarily leads credits with many premium care plans (ACA) Care Plan
If the results of Sunday’s crucial vote are any indication, the result is that Democrats are grappling with a tough fix that will take place today, possibly over the next several days. And even though Schumer did not support the compromise, lawmakers and Democratic-affiliated groups have fought him, criticizing his leadership and calling for his ouster.
“Last night, eight ‘moderate’ democrats played. FlyingSchumer and the hateful eight will betray America“.
“This is a major failure of leadership, and Chuck Schumer should resign as minority leader if he has any embarrassment or shame.”
The sentiment is with progressive groups like our revolution, whose executive director Joseph Geeevarghese said immediately: If he can’t stop leading the fight to stop the fight to stop the fight to fight Skyche for millions of Americans. “
At the top of the house, three Democrats called SCHUMER IN THE STUDY, THEY ARE MELE Levin, who represents a swingy district on the Southern California Coast. “Chuck Schumer has not met this moment and Senate Democrats would be wise to move away from his leadership,” he wrote in X Monday.
Fellow Californian Ro Khanna said: “Schumer is no longer effective and needs to be replaced by the American people.
But none of the voices calling for a change in leadership among Democratic senators were able to press the issue. Nor did Hakehem Jeffries, who led the party in the House of Representatives, participate. “Yes and yes,” he believed that Schumer pointed out that he led for nine years.
A spokesperson for Schumer did not respond to a request for comment.
The excavation in many ways is a Rehash of the one that happened earlier this year, when the 74-year-old minority leader of the Minority he found the barricades on a democratic route.
The opportunity comes three months into Donald Trump’s presidency and days before the end of government funding. House Republicans sent the Senate a short-term funding measure that nearly all Democrats in the lower chamber opposed.
Faced with the prospect of swallowing the bill as it is, or asking for changes and likely to cause a shutdown, Schumer initially changed later, before changing his mind and voting for his centrists in his caucus. The decision brought a backlash from the Party’s base, with liberal groups such as Unrenewable and Movon calling for new leadership.
Schumer survived, and when the latest funding battle began 41 days ago, his office cooperated with the same groups in their shutdown strategy. The Democrats have been strong for several weeks, even as a very disappointed Juan Thanune, the main Republican leader, without responding to the government.
At home, Speaker Mike Johnson put representatives in a long recess that would explain to the Democrats in the Senate that they are not interested in their demands.
In the press conferences he held regularly after the funding was targeted, Johnson often said that the “Schumer shutdown” faced by Alexandria Octez, the progressive New York Congresse that the repair of the Republicans faced the Party’s agenda.
“He thought the AOC was going to challenge him or some other Marxist,” Johnson said in early October.
The compromise to open the government allowed funding through January, and promised Democrats a vote on the acquisition of ACA tax credits, even without the power to pass the Senate, or, if it does, a vote in the House. Schumer’s fingerprints are not public on the agreement, which was created by a group of moderate senators who recently won an election, or are in their last terms of office.
“This health crisis is so serious, so urgent, so hard on families at home, that I cannot support it in good faith [resolution] It failed to solve the health crisis,” he said after the deal was announced. He did not vote on the bill Sunday night.
By Monday afternoon, signs were emerging that some Democrats did not like the tone of the bill’s debate. “As a reminder, the DCCC is now targeting many Republican-held districts across the country,” Suzan Delbene, Chair of the Democratic Campaign Campaign, wrote to lawmakers in the House.
“We want to encourage all of you to hold vulnerable Republicans in your state, region, and media accountable when you get on social media this week.” Translation: Fire Schumer.
Whether the party base is listening is another question.
“Despite his ‘no’ vote, the entire political world knows it was a direct result of Chuck Schumer’s leadership,” WRITES Inseparable, because it encouraged the supporters of the group to call the democratic senators and tell them to find a new leader.
“He would have blessed this surrender, or he wouldn’t have been able to bring his caucus to hold the line.”
