Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is currently under significant scrutiny from Democratic party members after voting for a Republican-backed continuing resolution to fund the government. Reports indicate growing frustration within the party, with some members suggesting that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez consider a primary challenge against him in 2028. Schumer's decision has led to protests, including postponed appearances on a book tour, with prominent party figures like Nancy Pelosi urging colleagues not to follow his lead. The atmosphere is one of palpable discontent, illustrating a divide within the Democratic ranks.
Many in the party are frustrated with Schumer's recent vote. A House Democrat described his popularity as hovering somewhere between Elon Musk and the Ebola virus.
