Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer said he will not step down, as he builds anger and pressure among his colleagues for Democrats because of his decision not to prevent government financing led by Republicans.
“See, I don’t step down,” Schumer told NBC News “Meet the Press Thring on Sunday.
Some Democrats wanted Schumer to prevent the latest government financing bill, which they believed had enabled President Donald Trump’s agenda, but Schumer decided to allow the full vote.
He and a handful of other Senate Democrats voted to enhance the procedure for the final vote, but they voted against financing the final financing bill.
Shomer told the Press that he made his decisions “out of pure condemnation regarding what the leader should do and what is the right thing for America and my party.”
The Senate’s greatest democratic argued that the ban on the bill would have caused the government to be closed, a scenario that would distribute Trump to increase power in reducing federal jobs and social and public services.
Shomer said that government financing measure is definitely bad. ” “But the closure will be the worst 15 or 20 times.”
However, many strong members of his party criticized Schumer’s decision publicly, on the pretext that he had made their limited influence against Trump.
Schumer’s decision publicly revealed a rift in the Democratic Party on how to oppose the Trump administration.
“I myself do not give up anything for nothing,” said Nancy Pelosi, former US House of Representatives, at an event in San Francisco last week. “I think this is what happened on the last day.”
Pelosi speculated that Shomer could have been trying to make Republicans agree to the “third direction”.
“Maybe they did not agree to that, but at least the audience had seen that they did not agree to that,” Pelosi said. She admitted that this decline may lead to the closure of the government.
Speaking to ABC News, Senator Fairmont Bernie Sanders, an independent, said he believed that the issue was with the Grand Democratic Party book.
He claimed that the party was “dominated by billionaires” and was “out of touch” with its voters.
Democratic voters expressed their frustration with the leadership of his party in the last city halls held throughout the country.
When will you call? [Schumer] I will replace one of the founders of Senator Michael Bennett, a Democrat from Colorado, in a modern municipal hall.
At the end of his response, Bennett said: “In your question, let me say just, it is important for people to know when it is time to go … We will have talks, I am sure, in the foreseeable future, about all democratic leadership.”
