Chuck Schumer Faces Democratic Fury After Government Shutdown Deal

Recommended Posts

So it WAS THE SCHUMER SHUTDOWN AFTER ALL.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer faces a backlash over his leadership from within his Democratic Party after eight members of the Senate Democratic Caucus joined Republicans on Sunday to vote to advance a deal aimed at ending the 40-day government shutdown despite Schumer's objections.

Seven Democratic senators and one Democrat-aligned independent voted with Republicans on Sunday to secure the 60 votes needed to pass the deal, which failed to address the key Democratic demand of extending the enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits expiring on January 1.

Schumer was being criticized for failing to get Democrats to fall into line, underscoring growing tensions within the party over legislative strategy and leadership

The Senate bypassed Schumer to reach a funding deal with eight non-Schumer Democrats. Maybe it'll stick, but it still has to get passed by the House and signed by President Trump. What this means for Schumer, I don't know. The radical leftoid faction wants his head anyway and he's still likely to get primaried by AOC and lose his seat unless AOC bypasses him and runs for president instead.

Imagine AOC in a presidential debate.  Her only hope would be to show some major cleavage.
