Democrat Senate Minority Leader and New York Sen. Charles Schumer is facing a significant challenge to his leadership role in the Democratic Party. Many Democrats are furious that Schumer caved into Republicans and voted to invoke cloture so that the continuing resolution to fund the government could be passed.

The liberal organizing group Indivisible said Saturday it was calling for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to step down from his leadership role, the latest fallout after he backed a GOP bill to keep the government open.

President Donald Trump praised Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-New York) on March 14 for his decision to vote for a Republican-backed continuing resolution to keep the government funded.
