A growing list of House Democrats and liberal grassroots groups is calling for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to step down from leadership after failing to stop a group of his senators from voting to reopen the government.
Why it matters: It's the culmination of a year's worth of anger towards the Senate leader, who many younger, more pugilistic Democrats say is ill-suited to lead in the Trump era. • "Sen. Schumer has failed to meet this moment and is out of touch with the American people," progressive Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Minn.) said in a post on X. • Said Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.), a moderate who is running for U.S. Senate, said "if [Schumer] were an effective leader, he would have united his caucus to vote 'No'" on the Senate shutdown deal.
