Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has postponed his book tour due to intense protests and backlash from his Democratic base following his recent vote on a controversial funding bill. Critics, fueled by dissatisfaction with Democratic actions, particularly regarding Trump's policies, are directing their anger towards him online. The funding bill, viewed as a 'poison pill' laden with partisan traps, further exacerbated tensions between Democratic lawmakers and their supporters, highlighting a growing anxiety among party members about their credibility and effectiveness in opposing Republicans.
"Last week's funding bill vote presented an opportunity for critics to more sharply target their disapproval."
"Postponing the tour may have seemed like the only way Schumer could save face."
