Tap title to read story
A March Senate vote on a government funding bill created a rift among Democrats. Those who supported the bill, fearing a shutdown would empower Trump and Musk, now feel vindicated by the economic fallout from Trump's tariffs. Critics, who argued the bill lacked leverage, maintain their stance. Senate Minority Leader Schumer, heavily criticized for his vote, remains defiant, citing the long-term strategy and the current Republican disarray. While some Democrats remain divided, the immediate criticism against Schumer has subsided.
