Democrats Face Internal Turmoil Over Government Shutdown Deal
In a contentious political landscape, Democrats are grappling with significant backlash following their decision to support a funding bill to end the government shutdown. Many within the party express frustration, particularly towards Senate leader Chuck Schumer, as calls for his resignation grow amid accusations of ineffective leadership. Notably, late-night hosts and prominent figures like Jon Stewart have criticized the Democrats for what they perceive as a collapse in strategy, further deepening the divide within the party between moderates and progressives. As the funding bill heads to the House, Democrats must navigate a growing crisis that reveals deep dissatisfaction among their base and raises questions about their future leadership and cohesion.
