Senator Chuck Schumer's recent decision to back a Republican bill to prevent a government shutdown sparked outrage among fellow Democrats, highlighting a growing generational divide within the party. Younger Democrats are increasingly critical of the older leadership's perceived weakness in opposing Trump and are challenging them to adopt a bolder policy agenda to address the struggles faced by many Americans. They argue that the old guard's reluctance to engage in vigorous political battles undermines the party's efficacy and relevance in modern politics.
Younger Democrats are chafing at and increasingly complaining about what they see as the feebleness of the old guard's efforts to push back against President Trump.
Some who argue for more militancy in opposing Mr. Trump say the party's elders tend to be less comfortable with the type of unbending political warfare that is called for.
