Schumer stares down progressive fury over handling of shutdown
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has become the target of progressive anger after moderate Democrats struck a deal to reopen the government, raising questions about his future atop the conference even as he distances himself from the agreement.
Progressives, both those in the House and those running to join Schumer in the upper chamber, did not hesitate to lay blame at the feet of the New York senator, arguing that his ineffectual leadership led eight Democrats...
Senate passes bill to reopen government; House set to return to DC
The Senate voted Monday evening to end the 41-day government shutdown, setting the stage for the House to reconvene later this week to pick up the legislation and send it to President Trump’s desk.
The Senate voted 60-40 to pass a bill to fund military construction, veterans’ affairs, the Department of Agriculture and the legislative branch through Sept. 30, 2026, and the rest of government through Jan. 30.
Eight members of the Democratic caucus voted for the deal...
Trump says the GOP ‘broke’ Schumer
President Trump criticized Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's (D-N.Y. ) handling of the government shutdown in an interview on Monday, saying Republicans bested him in the process.
"I think he made a mistake in going too far,” Trump told Fox News’s Laura Ingraham on The Ingraham Angle. “He thought he could break the Republicans and the Republicans broke him."
“I’ve never seen a politician change so much,” the president said. “He was a pretty talented guy. H...
Why a handful of Democratic senators decided to end the shutdown
Sen. Tim Kaine (Va.), who nearly a decade ago served as Hillary Clinton’s running mate when she lost the presidency to Donald Trump, was the eighth Democratic senator to back a centrist deal the Senate is set to approve Monday that is likely to soon end the longest shutdown in American history.
Kaine’s top priority was to protect thousands of federal workers the Trump administration was attempting to fire during the government closure.
To win over Kaine, Senate Ma...
Stefany Shaheen blasts shutdown deal backed by her mother
Thanksgiving dinner in the Shaheen household might be a little awkward.
Stefany Shaheen, a Democratic candidate for Congress from New Hampshire, said she “cannot support” a deal to end the government shutdown on which the Senate is voting Monday evening. Complicating things is the fact that her mother, Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.), supports the proposal.
The younger Shaheen, in a Monday post on the social platform X, said she would only support a de...
Senate clears key hurdle in march to final vote on ending shutdown
The Senate on Monday cleared a key procedural hurdle toward greenlighting a package to reopen the government, the first of a series of planned back-to-back votes.
Senators voted 60-40 to grease the skids toward final passage of the funding bill Monday night.
The eight senators who crossed party lines to vote to advance the funding bill Sunday night once again voted with every Republican except Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.).
The package would keep the governmen...
Angry Democrats call on Schumer to resign after eight vote to end shutdown
Some lawmakers and progressive groups blame minority leader after eight senators defect
Democrats are seething after news emerged on Sunday that eight members of their Senate caucus had collaborated with Republicans on crafting a compromise to end the longest government shutdown in US history, without winning any healthcare concessions that they had sought.
But one name is coming in for more opprobrium than any other: Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader who had led the Democrat’s weeks-long stand against reopening the government without an extension of tax credits that lower premiums for Affordable Care Act (ACA) health plans.
