Part 2/8:
Schumer stated his intent to vote for the continuing resolution, standing alongside Senator John Fetterman as the only two Democratic Senators committing themselves to support it thus far. His announcement comes amid a chorus of criticism from various factions of the Democratic Party, notably the progressive wing. Notably, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Chief of Staff criticized Schumer's hesitation, suggesting that his failure to seize this moment to facilitate a broader confrontation against the Republican Party has resulted in a significant misstep for the Democrats.
