The liberal group Indivisible called for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to step down after he supported a GOP bill to prevent a government shutdown.
Schumer’s decision angered many Democrats, who viewed a shutdown as a key leverage point against President Trump.
Indivisible’s call reflects broader dissatisfaction, with 82% of its New York leaders and 91% nationwide voting for Schumer’s resignation.
Schumer defended his decision, stating it was in the best interest of both his party and the country, Politico has reported.
The backlash highlights growing frustration among grassroots Democrats.
