Democrats are in turmoil over Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s decision to support a GOP stopgap funding bill, preventing a government shutdown but sparking backlash from his own party.

Schumer defended his move as a tough but necessary choice to avoid giving Trump more power.

Progressive and centrist Democrats alike condemned him, with some even suggesting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez challenge him in 2028.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected Schumer’s stance, while Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand was overheard angrily defending it, the Daily Beast has reported.

The divide highlights growing Democratic infighting as Trump and the GOP consolidate power.
